Las Levantadas 2021

Rioja

Download

Levantadas (raised) refers to the upper slopes of Javier’s estate vineyards, a place where white varietals like this retain a high level of acidity while ripening evenly. The results are powerful and precise, while keeping a freshness and lift from the sourcing and light winemaking hand.

Vineyard

Higher slopes from the already high elevation area of Rioja Alavesa give this wine a bracingly vibrant character.

Winemaking

A blend of 80% Viura, 10% Tempranillo Blanco and 10% Malvasia. Fermented and aged in stainless steel with four months of lees contact

Vintage Note

A cool but also dry year, with even and balanced ripening. September rain provided relief to most parts of Rioja.

Tasting Note

Fresh white peach and tangerine, with a pleasing structure build around the natural acidity in the wine.
