90/100 Points Robert Parker Wine Advocate (Luis Gutierrez) The  2023 Viura Dulce was an unexpected sweet white, with notes of syrup and candied pears. It is light and has 58 grams of sugar.1.000 bottles. Drink date: 2024-2027

16/20 Points Jancis Robinson by TC. Full bottle 1,176 g. 95% Viura, 5% Moscatel. From a 35-year-old vineyard. Hand-picked. Low-temperature spontaneous fermentation in 225-litre barrels. Aged in barrels for three months on lees with periodic bâtonnage. TA 5.31 g/l, pH 3.5, RS 58 g/l. I'm not sure I've tasted a sweet Viura before. The oak has given it a distinctly coconutty aroma, and new-barrel taste in the mouth. Also coconut and white chocolate on the palate. It's gently and creamily 'green', not unlike a matcha latte made with coconut milk. A tad too much oak? Perhaps another year in bottle will ease out the too-muchness. Just the sort of wine I'd want to pair with one of my sister's matcha macarons.
