An attractive, brilliant straw-yellow colour. On the nose, it is subtle and elegant, with mineral notes contributed by the limestone soils, combined with aromas of white flowers and fruit. Subtle bakery notes can also be perceived after its time in new 500-liter (132 gal) French oak barrels. On the palate, its great freshness stands out, together with excellent body, volume and balanced acidity, which give it outstanding persistence.

After the drought and atypical heat at the end of 2023, which left the soils with water reserves below minimum levels, the arrival of persistent Atlantic weather fronts in late winter and spring replenished the water profile, allowing a vigorous “weeping” period and budbreak.

April combined cold mornings (0.2 °C / 32.4 °F) and warm days (31 °C / 87.8 °F) without frosts, while in June (average 18.5 °C / 65.3 °F) rainfall caused slight coulure during flowering, reducing the yield.

A summer of continuous but extreme heat (38.3 °C / 100.9 °F in July and 39.7 °C / 103.5 °F in August) did not cause leaf burn thanks to the initial water reserves, and the aridity ensured fungus-free grapes. This healthy condition allowed us to carry out a slightly later harvest than in 2023.

The Viura was harvested on 4 September and the Garnacha Blanca on 23 September, seeking full ripeness. The grapes were picked by hand into small crates, with cluster selection. After destemming, the must underwent a 24-hour cold maceration on its skins.

Pressing was carried out in a vertical stainless-steel press, accompanied by light traditional foot-treading. After 24 hours, static racking was performed and the must fermented at 16 °C (60.8 °F).

Once fermentation was complete, the wine was aged in an ovoid tank, whose shape promotes the natural movement of the fine lees and provides micro-oxygenation similar to that of a barrel, preserving the fruit and aromas. Part of the Viura was also aged in used French oak barrels, adding subtle woody notes. Finally, the wine was racked, rested for three months on its fine lees, clarified and bottled.

In the area where our plots are located, there is a geographical feature known as the «Valtracones» ravine. This ravine is mentioned as a natural boundary in the demarcation of the area called «La Calzada», situated south of the «Valdespino» stream. It has a high concentration of active lime in the soil, which led me to choose Garnacha Blanca, a variety that is moderately tolerant to the presence of calcium carbonate.

In 2013, we acquired some land just 500 meters from our main vineyards planted in "Los Carasoles de Bilibio." These plots are at different altitudes: the white vineyard at 520 meters and the red vineyards at 480 meters.

In 2020, we decided to plant this vineyard using the traditional bush vine training system. We sought a higher altitude for this plot with the ambition of producing a quality white wine. The chosen variety was Garnacha Blanca due to its characteristics and the soil type. The vines are from the Yerga area of ​​Alfaro. Planted in 1977. The training system is high bush vines. The soils are clay with a significant amount of stones, deep, and have a high lime content, which gives them a white hue.
