2018 Marques de Murrieta Capellania Reserva 750ml

Experience a "white with the soul of a red" with the 2018 Marqués de Murrieta Capellanía Reserva 750ml at VS Liquor. This iconic white Rioja is sourced from the centennial Capellanía single vineyard, planted in 1945 at the highest point of the Ygay Estate (485 meters). The 2018 vintage represents a historic shift for the estate as the first vintage to be fermented in concrete vats, a move that technical director María Vargas notes has added a new dimension of polish and length to the wine. After fermentation, the 100% Viura juice was aged for 22 months in new French oak barrels followed by 7 months of refinement in concrete, resulting in a structured white with legendary aging potential that rivals the finest Burgundies.

On the palate, it is muscular yet precise, delivering a dense, oily texture balanced by a vibrant, saline acidity and flavors of macadamia nut and lemon curd that lead to a long, mineral-driven finish.
