The 6ha Capellanía vineyard at 485m, the highest point of the Ygay estate in Rioja Alta, this 100% Viura was fermented in 9,400L concrete vats before ageing 23 months in 225L Allier French oak barrels and 13 months in concrete vats, bottled in May 2023. Delicate and enticing saline notes, jasmine and bright citrus open to an elegant palate with perfectly integrated oak. The time in bottle has really made an impact here, producing a very complete and complex wine that clearly has ageing potential but is perfectly ready to drink. Fine-grained woody notes on the finish bring lift and freshness, and invite one to drink more! Class.

Varietal
Viura
Viura, a celebrated white grape variety indigenous to Spain’s Rioja and La Rioja Alta regions, showcases remarkable adaptability and versatility. Also referred to as Macabeo, it plays a significant role in many Spanish white wines and Cava blends, lending them distinctive characteristics and flavor profiles.
Renowned for its crisp acidity, Viura wines boast a light body and refreshing citrus notes, often complemented by hints of green apple and floral aromas. Its capacity to maintain acidity, even in warm climates, renders it a preferred choice for winemakers aiming for balance and vibrancy.
Whether savored on its own or blended with other varietals, Viura remains integral to Spanish winemaking, offering a delightful and approachable drinking experience globally.
