L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

Despite the difficulties of the 2017 growing season, with frosts that decimated the crop and a warm and dry spring and summer, the 2017 Valenciso Blanco shows extremely well and stands up to the 2016 that I tasted next to it. It's young and undeveloped, still very primary. The oak seems better integrated, and the wine doesn't show any signs of excess. The alcohol and acidity are similar to the 2016, and so is the varietal breakdown—Viura with 30% Garnacha Blanca. It's clean and elegant, in the house profile, not showy, a little shy but with more complexity and clout than might seem at first sight. This is a very pleasant surprise. 12,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2018. - Luis Gutiérrez.
