The wine formerly known as Horizonte de Exopto Blanco is now the 2023 Vino Blanco – Field Blend. It was produced with the white grapes from the old vineyards, planted in the poorer soils to compensate yields. The base is Viura, around 85%, with some 10% Garnacha and 5% Malvasía Riojana, but there are always traces of Calagraño, Moscatel and Torrontés, etc. It was produced in a slightly oxidative way, which he thinks suits Viura nicely, as it gains in texture and aging potential. As it's a small volume, and all the varieties fermented together, in stainless steel in the beginning and later in used 225-liter barrels and concrete eggs in similar proportions and 60% in a 4,000-liter French oak foudre. It has 13% alcohol, a low pH of 3.27 and notable acidity, 6.2 grams of it. It's floral, spicy, balsamic and perfumed, very clean and precise, focused and balanced, with clout, elegance, freshness and balance. It's approachable now and should also age nicely in bottle. 7,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2024. (Luis Guitérrez)
Exopto is in 2003 opgericht door drie vrienden die een droom hadden: ze wilden Rioja en zijn streek op een andere manier laten zien.

Nice flavour but a pinch of hardness
