White wine made from the oldest viura vines and a selection of white vines scattered among the red vines, as it was planted 80 years ago. Fresh and serious, with botanical and mineral touches –limestone–, and wonderful finesse and volume. It is like looking at the estate and letting yourself be caught by an impression of purity and harmony.

The history of the Villota family dates back to the beginning of the century. After 9 decades linked generation after generation to the world of wine, the Villota family under the tutelage of Ricardo Pérez Villota separated from Contino to create their own society, giving life to unique wines, where the expressiveness of their "terroir" is their motivating law. Limited production wines, a reflection of an exceptional vineyard.
They make unique wines in their essence, purity and their own character.
