"I'm always surprised by the austere and serious profile of the white, and this year, it's the 2023 Peñalba López Vino Blanco, from a year that suffered frost and decimated the white grapes. It's mineral, with notes of flowers, herbs and spices and an earthy touch. It has a medium-bodied palate, pungent flavors and a chalky mouthfeel. It went through malolactic and still kept a pH of 3.05 and 6.8 grams of acidity. This goes beyond the varieties"40% Viura, 30% Albillo Mayor and 30% Chardonnay, as they had no Albillo Real this year. It matured in barrel for 17 months. 4,023 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2023."

"I love the austerity and seriousness of the white 2022 Peñalba López Vino Blanco that goes beyond the unusual varietal mix of 40% Chardonnay and 20% each Albillo Mayor, Albillo Real and Viura, coming through as stony and mineral, very apt for the table. It has moderate ripeness and 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.15, which denotes freshness, finishing with a subtle bitter twist. It matured in barrel for 13 months, but the wood is not an important element in the aromatics or flavors. 9,533 bottles produced."
