The creamy texture of this smoky white is enlivened by a vein of integrated acidity. Stone and vanilla notes underscore pear, dried apple and lanolin flavors and lead to a lingering finish.
The winery is located in the town of Anorbe in the valley of Valdizarbe, in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The grapes are from the best two hillside vineyards which are divided by a small road. The vineyards face southwest. They yield 1.45 t/acre, and the parcels are in the area known locally as Berezabal, and have clay-limestone with lots lots of gravel for soil.
