Ocampo |
Vijariego |
The sophisticated rusticity of this wine is truly alluring, evocative of its origin but also reflecting the deft, light-handed winemaking. Fleshy plum, black cherry and ripe figs, lined with subtle smokiness glide through the palate. The tannins are assertive yet fine, sprinkled with white pepper and tarragon. Long, nuanced, dynamic finish, offering hints of bergamot and Earl Grey. |

Listan Blanco |
Refined, poised expression of Listán Blanco, with a Burgundian elegance but also extraordinary sense of place. Inviting nose of flint, linden, chamomile and pear. The palate follows with a powdery softness, supported by a fine, mineral acidity. The core of white peach, pear and yellow apple is drenched in white grapefruit juice and framed by fleshy blanched almonds and hay. Great potential to develop in bottle. |

Vidueno Blanco |
A harmonious blend of Malvasia (50%), Marmajuelo (25%), Albillo Criollo (13%) and Listán Blanco (12%), with a lean, focused palate weaving floral notes, fleshy orchard fruit and refreshing white citrus. An undercurrent of salty water adds fluidity and mouthwatering freshness. Subtle seam of fennel seed and flint. |

Listan Negro |
Such harmonious energy in this Listán Negro that unfolds in the glass with playful elegance. Beautiful purity of cherry, plum and mulberry fruit, supported by powdery tannins and framed by juniper, nutmeg and cardamom. Vivid yet soft acid driving the linear, long finish. Drinking beautifully now but will surely reveal other facets with some more time in bottle. |

This estate-grown wine is big in mouthfeel and full-bodied, balanced nicely by decent fruit acidity and good, moderate tannins that give it heft. Black cherries, black currants, cocoa, iron, chocolate and mint flavors. Drink now or hold. |
