This white Rioja co-ferments nine varieties including chardonnay, grenache blanc, viognier, roussette, marsanne, sauvignon blanc, muscat, petit manseng, and riesling. Telmo Rodríguez prioritizes site specificity through field co-planting on high-altitude estate terraces in Labastida. Hand-harvested grapes from calcareous clay soils are pressed together and undergo spontaneous fermentation driven by native wild yeasts in old oak casks. Matured on fine lees, it delivers an authentic mountain identity.

It pours a pale yellow color, opening with a precise, flinty nose of seashell, oyster shell, white sesame, and lime. On the palate, the full-bodied, gastronomic frame balances orchard fruit flavors with an underlying chiseled line of mineral acidity. Savory layers of chalk and citrus rind seamlessly wrap around a broad, texturally rich mouthfeel. The architectural focus ensures balance and definition across the mid-palate volume. It finishes dry, clean, and persistently long, leaving a mouthwatering mineral impression.
