Unsi Terrazas Blanco 2018

Navarra DO

Exciting new white from ancient terraces in the mountain foothills of Navarra. The result is a wine with lovely intensity of brilliant citrus fruit, with mineral freshness thanks to the altitude of the vineyards and Gonzalo Celayeta's top winemaking.

Tucked away in the mountainous north of Navarra, you’ll find tiny plots of old vines that have been passed down for generations. But times are changing. These steep terraced vineyards have to be worked by hand and yields are extremely low. Hard work and expensive to maintain, many are simply abandonned. Fortunately, winemaker Gonzalo Celayeta has stepped in to help. He’s rescued a collection of these once forgotten vineyards and restored them to their former glory. Rarely seen, Unsi Blanco is made from 100% Garnacha Blanco and aged for six months in French oak. You'll taste the creamy oak as well as the wild herbs that surround the vineyard in this fine, minerally fresh white. Cook up a fish pie or garlic chicken. It'll work a treat.
