Originally from Lanzarote, Pablo Matallana spent time traveling between Valencia and Barcelona, and cut his teeth working for top names such as Mas Martinet in Priorat and Le Bon Pasteur in Pomerol. In 2018 joined the Taro Vinícola project, a small set of vineyards and a winery owned by family friends, set in the dramatic landscape of Lanzarote. Initially the winery farmed and sold grapes to a number of larger projects, but with Pablo’s arrival they stopped doing so and started to focus vinifying their own fruit, which is done according to biodynamics.

The Blanco is Malvasía Valcanica, Listán Blanco and Diego from the La Geria, La Vegueta and Juan Bello areas of Lanzarote. The wine is spontaneously fermented in 500-600L barrels where it rests on its fine lees for 8 months. Tangerine zest, ripe white pear, hint of vanilla. Beautiful citric tension and freshness on the palate that finishes in a generous velvety texture.
