Marqués de Murrieta Capellanía Reserva 2018

Long-awaited encounter with this exceptional Rioja blanco from a renowned producer. Harvested from single varietal of 70-year-old Viura vines, sourced from a single vineyard, aged for 24 months in new French oak. The wine boasts a rich, golden hue. The nose is defined by a fragrant nose of candied dried apricots, peaches, dried apples, and fresh honey. The texture is a masterful blend of deep flavors, accompanied by nuts, fennel, apricots, dried white flowers, and a generous amount of new oak. The crispness is crisp, and the finale is long and satisfying.

A smooth blend of citrus, peach, and mineral notes, with a smooth and lively quality. The wine's earthy nuances evoke a sense of a well-worn, aged cellar, where the air is thick with the scent of dampness and the shadows are long and mysterious. A complex and captivating wine that rewards patience and contemplation.

Classy and elegant white Rioja, with a lush and well-rounded character. The wine's aging process in new French oak and bottle has added layers and nuance, while its liveliness maintains a lively and refreshing finish.
