Baynos Blanco 2021

I love the flinty and spicy nose of the white 2021 Baynos Blanco de Viura. It’s faintly reductive and has notes of toasted sesame seeds that give it a somehow Burgundian profile. The palate is super fresh and vibrant with an ethereal lightness, 12.5% alcohol and a pH of three. It fermented in 228-liter French oak barrels, where the wine matured for 20 months. It's an update on the traditional style of whites with a long aging in oak. It should develop brilliantly in bottle. The vines are in the process of obtaining organic certification. 4,106 bottles and 90 magnums were filled in July 2023. - Luis Gutiérrez. 

Baynos uses grapes from six different parcels in Baños de Ebro, all over 50 years old. The result is a complex, ethereal, haunting white blend of Viura with 5% Malvasía, showing scented French oak, aniseed and baking spice aromas, lots of zip and minerality and a palate of saffron and lemon zest. 2024-29
