Finca Valdelascarretas Singular Vineyard White Reserve

Finca Valdelascarretas is Bodegas Perica’s Viñedo Singular white wine, made from Viura 100% from a plot planted in 1975 in Rioja Alta. This distinction, awarded by the D.O.Ca. Rioja solely to vineyards with vines over 35 years old and low yields, places this estate amongst the jewels of the Entrena family’s wine-growing heritage; the family is now in its fourth generation at the helm of the family winery, founded in 1912.

The grapes are harvested by hand into small crates, with the bunches rigorously selected in the vineyard itself. Following pre-fermentation cold settling, the must ferments in French oak barrels, where it remains in contact with its lees for several months before unde The result is a golden-coloured white Reserva with medium-high aromatic intensity and great complexity, featuring notes of stone fruit, citrus, nuts, vanilla and a characteristic salty hint, typical of a wine with structure and ageing potential.rgoing ageing that lasts for over a year.

Its unique character, combined with its very limited production, makes Finca Valdelascarretas a signature white wine that breaks with the usual standards of Viura, offering body, richness and a lively acidity that lends it freshness and length.

Recommended pairing: fish, seafood, rice dishes and mature cheeses.
Operating temperature: 16-18 ºC.

Production process

Our Finca Valdelascarretas Blanco Reserva wine was harvested by hand into 15-kg crates, with the best bunches selected directly in the vineyard. Following the harvest, the grapes underwent a process of cold pre-fermentation cryomaceration, followed by pressing and racking after 24 hours. This must fermented in French oak barrels and remained there on its lees for 6 months. Once these processes were complete, the wine was aged in French oak barrels for 15 months and was bottled in August 2022.
