(2024) Made from 100%, ungrafted old vine Malvasia Volcanica from the Las Palmeras vineyard, this is aged in French oak for four months resting on the lees. That certainly imparts a richness, a sheen of vanilla and almond, but the clear apricot, yellow apple and lemon fruit soon powers through. Texturally it has a little more weight too, but finally the oak seems to float away in the expected fruit and light saline character of the grape variety. It's interesting to taste barrel-aged Malvasia Volcanica, and though very good indeed, the argument for it doesn't seem compelling.
