Marqués de Murrieta Capellanía White wine

Marqués de Murrieta Capellanía 2019 is a remarkable white wine that embodies the essence of a red wine, showcasing the exceptional quality of grapes sourced from the prestigious Pago Capellanía. This single vineyard spans just 6 hectares at the highest elevation of the Finca Ygay, where the Viura grape variety thrives. The unique altitude, combined with the outstanding calcareous soils and the low yields from vineyards over 70 years old, allows the grapes to achieve their full potential.

This exquisite wine is aged for 22 months in French oak barrels of 225 liters, followed by 7 months in concrete deposits, resulting in a beautifully structured and vibrant palate. On the nose, it offers a rich array of aromas, including ripe white fruits, delicate pastry, fennel, bay leaf, and cedar, all harmoniously intertwined to create an enticing fragrance. The mouthfeel is refined yet assertive, delivering a long, lingering finish that promises further evolution with time.

Marqués de Murrieta Capellanía is beautifully paired with exquisite dishes such as grilled scallops with soft-boiled egg, smoked potatoes, and white truffle; steamed and roasted turbot enriched with its gelatin and a royal shrimp and leek preparation; as well as Bresse chicken prepared in three ways with chestnuts and kumquat. It is also delicious alongside caramelized eel with buttery cream, sour apple, and fine slices of foie gras. This wine is a quintessential addition to any fine dining experience and a true testament to the artistry of Spanish winemaking.
