Raúl Pérez thinks 2017 is his best vintage for white wines. Volumes are low, but the quality is high. The 2017 La Vizcaína la del Vivo has moderate alcohol, 12.3%, and had very good acidity. It has some herbal notes, hints of fennel and bay leaf with just a creamy and smoky twist. It's very tasty, marked by the soil, with a dry, stony sensation in the palate. The full clusters are pressed and there's no maceration with the skins, something they changed in the last few years, and it makes for leaner wines that seem to improve from vintage to vintage. In 2017 it transcends the character of the year, which was the earliest harvest on record. 4,500 bottles produced.
