90% Albillo Mayor, 10% Viura, native yeasts, winery coopered both American and French oak. Only select years. Very, very tasty wine, esp. if you dig the older fashioned Rioja Blancos. 40 mins open, slight chill.
Nose of yeast and spice, changeling with sit and swirl. Waxy, mineral, slight citrus( yellow) palate that kept changing and felt at times vertical and with other sips broad and mouth filling. Never big. Really nice with fish and veggies on an 80°+ day alfresco.
I love the old ones from neighboring Rioja like LdH Blanco, but that’s gotten ridiculous in $. This one wasn’t cheap($60 I believe) but a treat. When I recover I may seek more out.
If you’re a label aesthetics freak like me, this one will push those buttons as well.
Thanks@chambersstreetwines.

“Ojo Gallo’, Castellano for ‘rooster eye’ (in other words, what the French call ‘oeil de perdrix’), hearkens back to the traditional clarete style of the region. This dark rosé (light red?) is a field blend of very old vines of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Bobal, Monastrell, Viura, Albillo and Malvasia co-fermented in cement and raised for 8 months in used barrels before bottling without added sulfur” — 4 years ago

This flinty white is fantastic. Mineral notes come after the first sip and stay with you for quite awhile. This would be good with almost anything. — 9 years ago

Vibrant purple. Savory nose with roasted meat, BlackBerry and a hint of truffle. Firming tannins with fruit dying on the palate before structure. — 11 years ago
