This has aromas of white flowers and subtle chamomile. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh acidity, pleasant phenolics and a timid apricot finish. This is pure dona blanca from the San Pedro de Olleros site. Drink now or hold.
The white 2022 Doña Blanca Paraje La Cruz was produced with grapes from a small 0.25-hectare plot that was semi-abandoned, a rarity as 90% of the vines are from the variety, planted in the 1940s and 1950s on slate soil. Half of the bunches had a direct pressing, and the rest of grapes were destemmed; the juice fermented in stainless steel, where the wine matured with the fine lees for six months. It has 12% alcohol and a pH of 3.25 with 6.68 grams of acidity, keeping the balance and the freshness, with less alcohol and a varietal profile. It is clean, pure and fresh, with a tasty finish that is almost salty and with a bitter twist. 626 bottles were filled in April 2023.
