Press Review

It's expressive, with an intriguing nose, complex fruit and has a fresh and fine palate.

- Luis Gutiérrez, 2022 vintage

Overview

La Bastid is a blend of Viura and Garnacha Blanca originally from nine plots of vines around Labastida in Rioja Alavesa, but with the 2019 vintage, he has moved this project to the red clay-limestone soils of the village of Cárdenas, where he has been expanding his vineyard holdings. Olivier considers this wine his Côtes de Nuits Blanc in his internal hierarchy. Before the 2016 vintage, this wine was labeled as Jequitiba.
