2017 | Marqués de Murrieta | Blanco Reserva Capellania

Steely straw in color and with a very defined nose in which aromas of ripe apple stand out, spicy notes of thyme and fennel, almond touches and an elegant smoky patina. On the palate it is frank and direct, with volume, fresh and balanced.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2017 Capellanía comes from the earliest harvest in recent times. It's pure Viura from the vineyard that names the wine and was aged in French oak barrels, which comes from the tradition of whites with a long aging in wood. It's medium-bodied, with less volume and more length, beautifully textured and tasty.
