Macabeo & Garnacha Blanca (Grenache Blanc) – from 50+ year old vines grown at 480-610m on Clay Limestone & Slate soils – certified organic.

19/20 Jancis Robinson – “Macabeo and Garnacha Blanca from the village of Alpartir, from vines around 70 years old, grown on clay-limestone and slate soils. Located at elevations between 480 and 610 m, on a 6% slope. Whole clusters are gently pressed with light settling. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by a short pre-fermentation maceration. The wine is aged on fine lees in neutral oak vats of 500 and 900 litres, as well as in concrete eggs. 4,000 bottles produced.
Tasted blind. This is a great wine, with marked mineral depth and fresh notes of lime and green apple. There is an elegant, burgundian touch of flint, alongside a subtle hint of kerosene. A wine built on delicacy – vertical, refined, savoury and deeply compelling. Its penetrating yet delicate acidity carries the wine beautifully. One of the finest white wines I have tasted from Spain, with great ageing potential ahead.”

96 Points, Galloni – “From Alpartir in Aragón, the 2023 La Loma y Los Santos (Garnacha Blanca and Macabeo) opens with delicate, pure aromas of fennel and thyme. A citrus nuance adds tension to the rather austere yet finely detailed nose. Chalky textures and well-integrated freshness shape the dry palate without dominating it, allowing a subtle solar warmth to impart energy. The 2023 is expressive and balanced at 12.5% alcohol.”

96 Points, Parker – “The white 2023 La Loma & Los Santos, containing some 60% Macabeo and 40% Garnacha Blanca, fermented in concrete and matured in 500- and 900-liter oak barrels, with some Macabeo in concrete egg, for 13 months. This has to be the finest vintage of this white; it's a year with more tension and is very expressive and nuanced, with notes of dry yellow flowers and pollen. It is finessed, beautifully textured and velvety, with volume, sapidity and electricity, and it is crunchy and citrusy, with a salty twist in the finish. This should age nicely in bottle. 4,032 bottles were filled in July 2025.”
