The one white (there will be a special cuvée sold exclusively in Spain, first produced in 2019, a white put through malolactic), the 2018 Albillo Viñas Viejas is a superb and elegant varietal Albillo Mayor produced in a very Burgundian way (but without malolactic). It has 13% alcohol and a pH of 3.04 and is medium-bodied with moderate ripeness; it's very spicy and has notes of toasted sesame seeds, hints of white flowers and fruit and a citrus twist. It fermented and matured in French oak barrels for 25 months. This is by far the best white from the region and one of the finest table whites from Spain. 5,455 bottles and 98 magnums produced. It was bottled in September 2021.

The 2019 Albillo Dominio del Águila Viñas Viejas (from La Aguilera, Ribera del Duero) was fermented and aged in barrels. It has a yellow hue with a greenish sheen. The herbal and nutty nose reveals fennel, pennyroyal and chamomile notes against a Granny Smith backdrop. Creamy and taut, the refreshing, chalky mouthfeel delivers a high-pitched, flavorful finish. This is a beautifully crafted white done in a Burgundy style.
