elBlanc XXV

2014

A risky blend, reserved only for the bravest winemakers. The rebellious Viognier, the sweet Vidal, and the rediscovered Marina Rión together in a wine that year after year gains expressiveness.

__ Tasting note __

A complex wine with a brilliant old golden hue. Mature aromas with clear notes of dried flowers, honey, bitter orange and spices. In the mouth it is light, juicy and well balanced. A brilliant way to taste the passage of time.

Color amarillo limón con reflejos dorados. Limpio y brillante. Tiene una nariz limpia de intensidad media, aromática y muy fragante en la que aparecen agradables aromas de fruta blanca, tropical y cítrica, junto con notas florales, recuerdos anisados, hierbas aromáticas y leves especiados. En boca se muestra complejo y muy bien estructurado. Buena entrada, amplia, con volumen, a la que sigue un recorrido untuoso marcado por una buena acidez y un tacto graso muy agradable. Final largo, de notable persistencia. Postgusto afrutado.

Our most exclusive, unique and special wine. A burgundian style made in the Mediterranean from a variety we rediscovered after lying hidden for years under the veil of history.

__ Tasting note __

This is a delicate wine with a light burgundian colour, fine aromas of pipe tobacco. menthol, coffee and ripe fruit. In the mouth it has a sweet velvety tannic structure with vibrant acidity giving it freshness and elegance.

The nose reveals perfumes of blueberry, floral notes of violet, black pepper, dark fruits and liquorice. Fat on the palate, mellow, lush and very fruity at point of entry. Subtle cigar box notes. Light, mellow and extremely charming

Marina Rión

2019

A wine born of our restless, adventurous spirit. Marina Rión is an ancestral variety rediscovered in the mountains of the Ordal which has given us this special and characteristic wine. It is named after our great grandmother, the first woman in the family to make her home on the estate.

__ Tasting note __

This is an unoaked but complex wine, fresh, powerful and with character. On the nose, notes of exotic fruits like lychee or the white flowers of acacia and lilies stand out, as well as hints of toasted hazelnuts. In the mouth it's bright acidity make it refreshing and ideal for summer afternoons.

Experimental Projects

Recovering ancestral varieties

The project to recover ancestral varieties was born out of curiosity. To look where there had been a vineyard in the past that had been abandoned since the phylloxera crisis. By 1998 we had found 7 varieties and we planted a small vineyard with 500 vines of each. During 5 harvests we studied them until, in 2006, Marina Rión appeared, our first recovered variety wine. Later came Belat, a red grape that has given us one of the finest, most elegant and exclusive wines in our cellar. And we continue to investigate, harvest after harvest, seeking that excellence and authenticity. | more...
