started off with an oily texture and white peach/ tropicals with light florals, a touch oily. While it remains a wine of texture the oiliness goes away with time, gets leaner and takes on more Chenin-esque aromas while retaining its body. Quite a nice one with good development and should age well too.

2022 vintage

Very enjoyable, served as the opening wine at an otherwise all Tempranillo event. Sweet fruit, although a dry wine.

2022 vintage

My only previous experience with this wine was the 2014 vintage, comparing the two, the 2022 tasted sweeter, almost off-dry, and less acidic.

2022 vintage

Waxy, cheesy, and slightly sweet fruited nose. Melon and cheddar. Missing something for my taste...maybe a bit of acid and drive. Not an unpleasant drink at all, but perhaps just not my speed for the price.

2022 vintage

Big for a white wine. Part of a white wine night with my wine group. A long way from Chardonnays. And I mean that in a good way. Still very drinkable at 9 years past the vintage.

2014 vintage

The white wine started at a budget priced Spanish wines night with my wine group. This was served chilled and the entire group enjoyed it, especially the Anything But Chardonnay people. Reminds me of a Northern Rhone white.

2014 vintage

The opening wine at a Turkish restaurant wine night with my wine group. Very enjoyable. I had misplaced these in my cellar, so they have sat for longer than I would have liked, but it didn't matter as it is drinking very well, and I'm sure it has a few years of life ahead of it!

2014 vintage

The opening wine at a Merlot and Paella night with my wine group. It was served chilled and most of us had it before the Paella arrived. A weird and unusual wine, we all loved it! Beautiful minerality, notes of fruit that I couldn't indentify. A great way to start the evening.

2014 vintage

Had this with my wine group as a starter wine before an Italian meal. Very much enjoyed by everyone.

2014 vintage

Very unusual and tasty white. Full bodied. Medium length finish.

2014 vintage

I shared this with my wine group and we all enjoyed it. We had it slightly chilled. Unlike my previous bottles, I didn't pick up any notes of peaches, but there was some minerality to the wine, along with some flavors that remind me of a Sherry.

2014 vintage

This was a big hit with my wine group. Most of us had ever had (and I'm quoting the WA review) "the white mutation of Cariñena, a rare variety called Cariñena Blanca." Notes of peaches and stones, and not a lot of acid. It has a medium length finish.

2014 vintage

100% Carinyena Blanca. This is a very unique wine and one any wine geek would enjoy. I got very similar aromas to that of a Fino Sherry. On the palate, the wine is slightly oxidative with flavors of stone fruits, almonds, and minerality. Definitely worth seeking out.

This was a big hit with my wine group. None of us had ever had (and I'm quoting the WA review) "the white mutation of Cariñena, a rare variety called Cariñena Blanca." Notes of peaches and stones, and not a lot of acid. Its a medium length wine. A long way from a CA chard!

2014 vintage

Nose of pears, very fresh, hint of vanilla, grilled hazelnuts… High acidity and mineral, very dry finish, seems even a bit tannic, a hint of greenness in the finish
