It has faint notes of apples and bay leaf, and a light palate with good acidity and freshness and a pleasant bitter twist in the finish. This has ripeness and balance.

Combining grapes from the Rioja Alta and Oriental sub-regions, it's zesty and unwooded, with passion fruit and grapefruit flavours and a twist of white pepper.
Single plot in an amphitheatre so very ripe, less mineral and lower acid. Limestone clay.
Lots of ripe fruit and not that recognisable as a Sancerre – fatter. Yellow plums with a hint of cassis.
