Montes Obarenes is a blend of two-thirds Viura, one-quarter Tempranillo Blanco, and the remainder Malvasía Riojana, Calagraño, and Garnacha Blanca from the estate vineyard of Las Laderas in Ollauri. Monte Montes Obarenes blends modernism with its preference for French versus American oak barrels, but its inspiration is classical, with its focus on indigenous varieties planted in chalky soils close to the Sierra de Cantabria. The result is an elegant wine of length and mineral precision with a silky texture and a long life ahead.
