Notes : Guia Penin 94/100, Stephen Tanzer 93/100
"Javier Zaccagnini has hit the nail on the head with this first white wine from Rueda, made from very old verdejo vines from the Sarabia, Carril and Lagunilla vineyards, vinified and aged Burgundy-style." (La Revue du Vin de France - Spécial millésime 2007). This sublime cuvée, made with Pierre Millemann, a Burgundian oenologist, owes much to the organic farming of the vines and their altitude of around 900 meters, the highest in the entire D.O. Elegant, expressive aromas, white flowers, sweet spices, toasty notes, creamy, savory mouthfeel, all supported by fine acidity. This wine is considered one of Spain's greatest whites!
