"This is a new wine in the collection, the first white. The crazily priced 2017 Colección Nº 5 Parcela El Sauco was produced with a blend of 50% Garnacha Blanca and 25% each Malvasía Riojana and Viura from a plot of 60+-year-old vines on sand and gravel soils. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in a new French oak foudre, where it matured for 14 months. The aromatic profile is completely different from the other two whites in the portfolio, even though the grape mix is not that different, so I wonder if it has to do with using foudre instead of barrique. It's a lot more aromatic and floral, musky, exotic even, with peach-like aromas and a touch of orange blossom. It's ripe and has pungent flavors, full-bodied and powerful at 14.65% alcohol but with some acidity parameters that are quite unusual: a very low pH of 3.06 and six grams of acidity. So, the palate combines power and clout with sharp and austere sensations. It's very tasty and finishes almost salty, coming through as complex and elegant. I found it extraordinary. I'd be curious to see how this wine ages. 2,400 bottles produced." Luis Gutiérrez Octubre 2020
