Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
To catch up with the current vintages that I shall review every 12 months from now on, I tasted two vintages of some of the wines, including the whites. The 2018 Capellanía is 100% Viura from the plot that names the wine. The vineyard is six hectares planted in 1945 at 485 meters altitude, the highest in the estate. It fermented in concrete, the first vintage to do so, as it was fermented in stainless steel until then, and matured in second-use French oak barrels for 22 months. It spent a further seven months in concrete, a long élevage, with the idea to produce a structured white with aging potential, while keeping the varietal character. The wine is subtle and elegant, following the path of all the wines in the portfolio here, still marked by the élevage in oak, spicy and smoky. The palate is balanced, with a nice combination of fruit and oak, with a soft texture, clean, focused and tasty. It has 14% alcohol, a low pH of 3.1 and 6.10 grams of acidity. 21,836 bottled and 688 magnums produced. It was bottled in July 2022. This is now released with the Gran Reserva back label.

Description
Marqués de Murrieta, Capellanía Reserva, is a white wine made from 100% Viura grapes by the Marqués de Murrieta winery.
These grapes come from a vineyard called Capellanía, which gives its name to this wine, and was planted in 1945. This vineyard is located on a plateau at an altitude of 485 metres above sea level, in the highest part of the Finca Ygay in Rioja Alta.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand. Once in the winery, after destemming and gently crushing the bunches, they are gently and slowly pressed to extract the aromatic potential of the grapes.
The must is then fermented in a stainless steel tank at a controlled temperature for 24 days. The wine is aged for 15 months in 225-litre new French oak barrels.
Taste
Marqués de Murrieta, Capellanía Reserva, is balanced on the palate, with texture, refreshing acidity and a long, lingering finish.
A white wine born to surprise for its singularity.
Marqués de Murrieta, Capellanía Reserva, is a white wine whose complexity and structure break with all standards. In addition, it has a magnificent potential for longevity to evolve and endure in the bottle.
