2015 is the first vintage of this rare, white wine from denomination of origin Campo de Borja. It is produced from the la Blasa vineyard, the only plot of Garnacha Blanca (white-skinned Grenache) the winery owns. The vines are 15 years old and grow in clay-loam soils with fewer stones than the vineyards for the red wines. Grapes were harvested on September 21, 2015. The grapes go direct to press upon arrival to the winery and are protected from oxidation with a blanket of CO2 gas while pressing. The wine was fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks and aged on fine lees for nearly 6 months prior to bottling.

The 2018 Garnacha Blanco from Legado del Moncayo is a fine follow-up to the strong 2017 version. These white grenache vines are grown at high altitude on soils of stony-clay soils. The 2018 comes in at the same octane as the 2017, 13.5 percent alcohol, and delivers a bright bouquet of pear, citrus blossoms, a fine base of soil, coriander seed, wild fennel and a bit of orange zest in the upper register. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and has a good core, with fine soil signature, zesty acids and good length and grip on the well-balanced and complex finish. This carries its ripeness quite nicely and remains one of the best white wine values to be found from Spain. 2020-2025+.
