Expert Reviews - Vintage 2023
The Wine Advocate 92 Points by Luis Gutierrez | The affordable white 2023 Blanco 2º Año was produced with 70% Viura, 25% Tempranillo Blanco and equal parts of Garnacha Blanca and Malvasía. It fermented with selected yeasts, and only one-third of the volume matured in untoasted French oak barrels for five months, while the majority was kept in concrete. It's balsamic and has a medicinal touch, hints of bay leaf, fennel and yellow fruit and flowers. It has a moderate 13% alcohol and nice balance, keeping the freshness, poise and primary character.
Vinous 91 Points by Joaquin Hidalgo | The 2023 Blanco 2º Año hails from Rioja Alta. A blend of Viura and Tempranillo Blanco, it aged in barrels and concrete. Golden in hue, it opens with a creamy profile, subtle oxidative notes and a touch of dried pear. On the palate, it’s broad and grippy, with a nutty, saline finish. The 2023 is a potent white.
Winemaker Description
From a historic, family-owned, boutique winery smack dab in the hotbed of La Rioja, Haro. Now operated by the Baños family (since 2004), wines are created from a mix of terroirs in Rioja Alta and Alavesa where high-alt. bush vines thrive. Aged partly in French oak barrels and concrete tank on the lees, this is a well-balanced, textured blanco – citrus and mineral, juicy and bright.

Producer Notes
Only native varieties: 70% Viura, 25%, Tempranillo Blanco and 5% Garnacha Blanca and Malvasía, from vineyards located around Haro (limestone soils) and the Alto Najerilla (clay-ferrous soils). Generally old bush vines located in the highest areas.
Light pressing, without needing to work in an inert atmosphere, some work in the open, and about 50% of stems in the pressing. The objective being a more Burgundian style that highlights the qualities of the land, over the varietal expression.
Minimum contribution of SO2, spontaneous fermentation. All alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel at a constant temperature of 16ºC. Then, a part of the volume spends five months in French oak (not roasted, steam bending) with its lees, and the remaining volume is also aged with its lees in a concrete tank.
