Artuke 2021 Trascuevas Blanco 750ml

Now into its second vintage, Trascuevas is the only white in the Artuke range, made with an unusual blend of Viura and 5% each of Malvasía and Palomino from Ábalos, Baños de Ebro and Samaniego. Fermented and aged in concrete and older barrels, this has flavours of lemongrass, lime and citrus peel and a tapering, mineral-etched finish.
