98 points/'Rioja White Wine of the Year,' Tim Atkin, MW: "(13.5%). This world-class Viura white comes from the Olagar vineyard at 620 metres in San Vicente de la Sonsierra and deserves comparison with a top Grand Cru white Burgundy, such is its intensity, complexity and ageing potential. Fermented in new French barrels, it's waxy, rich and layered, with flavours of aromatic spices, lemon butter and vanilla oak and thrilling minerality, freshness and palate length. 2022-28. (2022)"

94 points Sarah Jane Evans, MW (Decanter): "The first vintage for this Gran Reserva Blanco – and it deserves plenty of success. From a vineayrd at 600m and as result shows excellent freshness. Aromatically it's refined, with delicate oak overtones. The fruit is pure and crisp, with notes of lemon and honey. A single vineyard wine, though it has not been registered as such. Only 3,000 bottles produced. Although 2013 was not a great year for red Rioja, this white Gran Reserva bucked the trend. Drinking Window: 2021-2031. (Oct 2021)"
