The rugged back roads of Baja Montaña in eastern Navarra have long been home to magnificent old vine Garnacha Tinto vineyards, yet scattered amongst them, lies some truly impressive and rarer Garnacha Blanca vineyards. The extreme climate and poor soils keep yields to a minimum, whilst the cool nights and long season ensures precise, complex, defined flavours that translate through to the wine in the glass.

High-altitude vineyards produce expressive, textural whites. Grapes are harvested at night prior to cool fermentation in order to maintain bright acidity and the fruits energy. Extended time on lees adds texture and mouthfeel, whilst the addition of a small proportion of barrel-aged Viura adds a pithy character to the finish, providing length and finesse.
