Vineyard
Ysios Blanco represents our expression of old Viura vines that grow at the highest part (known as “Cabezadas”) of some blocks and benefit from shallow poor soils. Our white wine is a blend of fruit coming from the highest part of several blocks growing in Laguardia, Elvillar and Páganos, including El Nogal, Rojanda, La Pedrera and Huerta Vieja.
Harvest
26th September 2018
Yeld
2.5-3.5 Tonnes/Ha; 10-15 Hl/ha.
Hand harvested in small 10 kg boxes to avoid crushing the fruit.
Cold maceration on skins for 12 hours for flavour extraction.
The free-run juice and first pressing were fermented together in 500 and 225 litre French-oak barrels.
A portion of the grapes were fermented on skins for 15 days to build greater complexity. Then a further 9 months of lees contact within aclay amphora was undertaken to build flavour and texture.
Pale-medium straw, brilliant.
Medium intensity and shy in the beginning, Ysios Blanco shows the more delicate side of old Viuras from Rioja Alavesa, with floral notes such as jasmine, chamomile, apple and pear, and orange peel. Attractive notes of fennel, white pepper, and elegant mineral notes.
Nuances of lees and nuts.
Crisp acidity, with great texture and palate weight. Some floral notes of acacia, apple, pineapple, stony character and chalk. Complex and elegant with a long and creamy finish.

Ysios Blanco
"Crafted from old Viura vines that are found at the highest part of the vineyard slope. Our pioneering ancestors planted these vines in this way with the aim to align the maturation process of various grape varieties across the vineyard. This represents the vanguard"
