"The first white I ever tasted from Diego Maga¤a is the 2023 Anza Blanco, a clean, precise and fresh blend of Viura with Malvas¡a Riojana. He wanted a sharp and austere white with moderate alcohol, and he got it. This has 12% alcohol and an impressive, nuanced and complex nose with a strong character, savory notes, hints of chicken broth, wild flowers and herbs, not so much on the fruit, but with the smells of the countryside during spring, floral and intoxicating but in a subtle way. It grows on you; it's clean, precise like laser cut, vibrant and mineral, very tasty. It is focused and precise, with a long, tasty, almost salty finish and a dry and chalky feeling to it. Beautiful! 1,640 numbered bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2024."
