Marqués de Murrieta Capellanía 2019
HK$ 848.62
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
2019 saw an early start of the harvest, with low yields and small grapes with concentration but balance. The 2019 Capellanía, an update on the long-aging whites from yesteryear, was produced with grapes picked on the 10th and 11th of September. The must fermented in concrete and matured in French oak barrels for 23 months, followed by another 13 months in concrete. It did not go through malolactic. They increased the time in concrete after aging in barrel, which seems to have worked very well; the wine is subtler, more elegant and balanced. It's direct, precise, fresh and elegant, with a vibrant palate and certain lightness. It has energy and light. 30,378 bottles and 1,204 magnums produced. It was bottled in May 2023.

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.
