From a superb vintage and 92-year-old vines, the 2016 Viña Gravonia Blanco is a striking example of López de Heredia’s unique white winemaking tradition. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in old oak vats and aged extensively in barrel, it carries the hallmark cellar notes that define the house style.

On the nose, it opens with aromas of wet stone, sea breeze, and subtle iodine, offering a mature and oxidative character that is both surprising and deeply captivating. With aeration, layers of ripe pear skin, lime blossom, citrus, lactic hints, and dry herbs unfold, revealing impressive aromatic depth.

Dry and medium-bodied, the palate echoes the nose with evolved fruit, raw almond, and umami-laced notes reminiscent of aged cheese. Its remarkable acidity and savory nuance lend energy and long aging potential.

Tasting Notes
Sea breeze, citrus peel, ripe pear, almonds, cheese rind. Dry, mineral, and saline with firm acidity and a lingering, complex finish.

Serving Suggestion
Serve at 14–16ºC. Excellent with full-fat cheeses, mushrooms, and delicate, umami-rich dishes.

Cellaring
Drinking beautifully now but will evolve gracefully for 10+ years.
