From winemaker par excellence Raul Perez comes this stunning white. A blend of Godello and Dona Blanca sources from vineyards planted in 1925 and 1940. The grapes are pressed then fermented in 500 and 700 liter barrels, remaining untouched for one year. The two parts are then blended before bottling. The best way I can describe this wine is - Chablis. Grand Cru Chablis. Where the balance of minerality and acidity against crisp apple and pear fruit is perfect. For me, the overall profile of the wine is the only way I can describe it. Chablis is... well.. Chablis. Unlike other wines, where you can often pick out individual flavors and set them apart, this wine, like Chablis, tastes like... well... it just IS. Living, I guess? Anyhoo...
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
“The white 2022 La Vizcaína La del Vivo comes from vines they own, all fermented without temperature control and never racked. It has a serious and austere nose that makes me think of a cooler year. There is good ripeness, and the wine achieved 13.5% alcohol but has very good freshness and acidity. It has notes of white flowers, fruit, spices and herbs and is complex, nuanced and elegant. It has a chalky palate with very fresh and clean flavors."
