Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The pure Viura 2021 Parajes del Infierno El Judas was produced with the idea to get away from the neutral character of the grape, transforming it into something mineral and complex. It comes from a 60-year-old 0.5-hectare plot they own in the middle of a pine forest on sandy and stony soils in the village of La Seca that is worked organically, and it fermented and aged in 500-liter oak barrels for one year and stabilized in stainless steel until bottling. It starts really shy; it's not that Viura is a very expressive grape, but this is really closed and takes a lot of time to open up a little in the glass. But the palate is expressive and textured, with chalky minerality. It has contained ripeness, 13% alcohol and a pH of 3.31 denoting freshness. 1,111 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2023.

Description
Barco del Corneta Judas is an aged white wine made exclusively from the Viura grape variety without denomination of origin by the Barco del Corneta winery in the Castilla y León region.
The grapes used to make this wine come from a vineyard more than 60 years old, located at 710 metres above sea level, on soils of siliceous sands and pebbles.
These vineyards have been cultivated with ecological techniques, respecting the environment and the diversity of the vineyard.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand and transported in 10 kg crates. At the winery, after a maceration of 12-18 hours, the whole grapes are pressed and fermented in two 500-litre oak barrels with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for 12 months on its fine lees in 500-litre barrels. Before bottling, the wine is left to settle for 2 months in stainless steel tanks.
Taste
Barco del Corneta Judas is a wine with citrus aromas, floral aromas and herbal notes. In the mouth it is unctuous and fresh, with good acidity, volume and an easy passage.
A singular wine, mineral, fresh and crisp.
Barco del Corneta Judas is part of the recovery project that Beatriz Herranz is carrying out together with other local winegrowers, using varieties native to the area.
This winery is the result of Beatriz Herranz's personal and professional experience after years linked to the world of vineyards and wine.
In the gastronomic field it is perfect as a gift and ideal to accompany Iberian cold meats and oriental food.
A white wine simply original and respectful with the character of the variety elaborated by Bodega Barco del Corneta! Try it, it will surprise you!
