Opinión de los críticos
Made outside the Denominación de Origen because it includes unauthorised grapes, this is nonetheless one of the region's most exciting white wines. Made with Albillo Mayor, 30% Verdejo and 20% Godello, it's a layered cuvée showing aromas of gunflint, white flowers and pepper, a palate of beeswax, pear, pink grapefruit and saffron and scented one-third new French oak. 2025-32
The white 2022 Blanco de Parcela Fuente de las Hontanillas is pale, subtle, elegant and insinuating and a little shy and closed at first. It has a sensational palate that is fresh and balanced, chalky and tasty with minerality. It has a little higher alcohol this ripe and dry year, but still 13%, with a very low pH (3.04) and very high acidity (6.92 grams) that give it a sharp personality. It's a blend of Verdejo and Albillo that matured in barrel for 11 months, but the oak is unnoticeable. 7,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2023.
Restrained nose with green apple and grapefruit pith, hints of perfumed almonds and fresh pastry. Vibrant and lively on the palate.

Espectacular
extraordinario, no parece un verdejo sino un Meursault
Fabuloso
Excepcional
Diferente y muy personal. La acidez y la cremosidad dan paso a la peculiar mineralidad sello de la casa. Otro blanco español de gran altura.
