96 Pts Tim Atkin Rueda 2024 Top 100 Report A classy wine from small, old-vine parcels in some of the best sites of Rueda: La Seca, Matapozuelos, Orbita and Nieva. It is elegant and fine but not lacking in intensity with stone fruit and fennel on the palate. The oak is perfectly integrated and adds lift with balsamic and savoury notes. There’s great tension in this wine which underpins its ageing potential, as well as serious depth and structure from complex, ancient soils.
Intense aromatics of ripe melon and pears balanced by leesy, yeasty notes. The palate is broad, textural and intense with well-integrated, toasty oak characters, kiwi and grapefruit acidity and impeccable balance. A deliciously bitter twist on the finish maintains the complexity of this fine Spanish white.
