2023 / 94+ puntos

The 2023 Señora de las Alturas Blanco is a blend of Viura and Garnacha Blanca from white soils in the village of Fitero. This wine was first produced in 2022, and in 2023, they wanted to make a blend of the best lots of each grapes, making a blend for the long run. The Viura fermented in three 500-liter barrels and the Garnacha Blanca in a 700-liter concrete egg and an 800-liter ceramic Clayver container, where the wines matured for nine months. It has a moderate 12.89% alcohol, a pH of 3.3 and 5.4 grams of acidity. This is a little more exuberant, very showy, open and expressive, with plenty of spices, with influence from the oak. The palate shows a textured wine where the oak is in the process of getting integrated with marked chalkiness and a long, salty finish. It's a wine to keep in the cellar for a few years. 4,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2024.
