Capellanía 2018 Magnum
Descripción
Capellanía se elabora con la magnífica Viura del Pago de Capellanía, un viñedo de más de 70 años ubicado en la zona más elevada de la Finca Ygay, la más prestigiosa de Marqués de Murrieta. Es un blanco complejo que cuenta con notas de fruta blanca madura y un agradable toque de mantequilla. Ideal para guardar un tiempo, ya que presenta una magnífica evolución en botella, en la que los matices propios de la crianza en madera se van integrando poco a poco. Esta añada presenta como novedad la inclusión del hormigón durante la fermentación, consiguiendo más complejidad, longitud y elegancia.

Opinión de los críticos
The cooler 2018 vintage was ideally suited to the production of high-quality whites like this pure Viura from a six-hectare plateau at 485 metres within the extensive Castillo Ygay estate. Modern, perfumed and poised, it has finely integrated French oak, fennel, thatch and beeswax aromas, herbal complexity and a nutty, fragrant, citrus zest palate. 2025-40
To catch up with the current vintages that I shall review every 12 months from now on, I tasted two vintages of some of the wines, including the whites. The 2018 Capellanía is 100% Viura from the plot that names the wine. The vineyard is six hectares planted in 1945 at 485 meters altitude, the highest in the estate. It fermented in concrete, the first vintage to do so, as it was fermented in stainless steel until then, and matured in second-use French oak barrels for 22 months. It spent a further seven months in concrete, a long élevage, with the idea to produce a structured white with aging potential, while keeping the varietal character. The wine is subtle and elegant, following the path of all the wines in the portfolio here, still marked by the élevage in oak, spicy and smoky. The palate is balanced, with a nice combination of fruit and oak, with a soft texture, clean, focused and tasty. It has 14% alcohol, a low pH of 3.1 and 6.10 grams of acidity. 21,836 bottled and 688 magnums produced. It was bottled in July 2022. This is now released with the Gran Reserva back label.
