Curator's Notes

“One of the most decorated boutique estates in Córdoba — ranked 11th globally by WBOO 2024–2025 — at a price that makes every other entry in its quality bracket look overpriced. The Guadajoz River valley location gives this early-harvest Picual an unusually complex terroir expression: intensely fruity, peppery, and complex, with a clean, structured finish that belies its modest cost. A critic's olive oil: all the substance, none of the theatre.”
