La Cayetana Criolla Blanca is a highly complex and inviting wine, with delicate layers of sea salt, chamomile, and white orchard fruit. The Criolla Blanca is aged on lees for 6 months in concrete eggs and finished with a final dosage of Gewürztraminer, Viognier, and Semillon which has been aged separately for over two years under a veil of flor, this results in a wine that offers a refreshing yet intricate flavour profile.

"This takes the humble Criolla grape Pedro Giménez to another level (labelled Pedro Ximenez on the bottle, but distinct from Spain's Pedro Ximénez). Combining an early harvest with several months on the lees, there’s an inviting freshness underpinning its complexity. A final dosage of Gewürztraminer, Viognier and Semillon – which has been aged under a veil of flor for over two years – results in delicate layers of sea salt, chamomile and white orchard fruit."
