General Information
Capellanía 2020 is a white wine with a thoughtful aging process in barrels that captures the history of Rioja wine and offers it in its best-interpreted version. A wine made from the fruit of viura vines by one of the most experienced wineries in Spanish wine, Marqués de Murrieta.
This white wine from Marqués de Murrieta has been made exclusively with viura grape clusters grown in a seven-hectare vineyard with an average age of over fifty years, located within the Ygay Estate itself. For its production, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed, and after a brief contact with their skins, they are delicately pressed to preserve their aromatic potential. After clarification, the must ferments in stainless steel tanks with temperature control for 24 days and completes its vinification with a meticulous aging process of 24 months in new French oak barrels, followed by an additional year of refinement in the bottle.
With the hallmark of winemaker María Vargas, named Winemaker of the Year 2017 by journalist Tim Atkin, Capellanía 2020 will pair perfectly with a mushroom risotto, red prawn and king crab ravioli with white truffle sauce, roasted capon with imperial sauce and pine nuts, or sole fillets with red shrimp and velouté.
Creators' opinion
Capellanía is a pale straw‑coloured white wine with steely highlights and a very defined nose, where aromas of ripe apple stand out alongside spicy notes of thyme and fennel, hints of almond and an elegant smoky nuance. On the palate it is clean and direct, with good volume, freshness and balance. With a long life ahead of it. The ever demanding Pago Capellanía has once again delivered a wine of great vibrancy and complexity.
