Score 17/20 · Drink 2022-2028, Jancis Robinson MW, Sep 2023
Viura planted in 1978 in a vineyard on predominantly limestone soils at 600 m above sea level. Aged on lees for 11 months in new oak barrels. The oaky body and savoury, honeyed character are juxtaposed with lightning-strike-like acidity. Very salty, with the depth characteristic of so many old-vine wines. It feels energetic, sprightly and alive. Great now, but with this energy it could keep ageing for a while. (JRL)
