The white 2019 Viñas de Gaín Blanco, which wears the subtitle Vineyard Selection, comes from a number of vineyards in Laguardia and Elvillar at 450 to 700 meters in altitude on clay and limestone soils. 2019 was warm and dry, and they still managed to keep the wine at 13% alcohol and with a pH of 3.33. It shows quite austere and faintly balsamic, with notes of waxy apples and a vibrant palate with chalky austerity, clean, pure and dry. Impressive. 17,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2021 after two years and four months in tank with the lees.
