Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The top white here is the 2024 Qué Bonito Cacareaba, a ripe and generously oaked blend of 50% Garnacha Blanca, 25% Viura and 25% Malvasía Riojana. It has a lot more Garnacha and a lot less Viura this time, sourced from dry-farmed vines in some of the best terroirs of San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Labastida, El Bombón, El Sauco, Sacramento, Paulejas, Hoyo, San Francisco and Murmurón. It fermented and aged for nine months in new 225-liter French oak barrels with the fine lees that were stirred weekly until June 2025. It has a bright golden color and a very oaky nose with notes of spices, toast, smoke and sawdust. It's voluptuous, lush and showy, ripe and round, with 14.78% alcohol, keeping very good freshness (pH of 3.12) and acidity (6.2 grams) that provide balance. The wine is very oaky, but it's powerful and concentrated and the oak should get better integrated with time in bottle. 7,000 bottles produced.
