This is a nice cellar, although plenty of awfull (and extremely expensive) paintings. You know my opinion about their wine. However, they are proud about their cava, rather than their wine. Thus, if you like cava (this is not my case) you will enjoy the vist. It belongs to Gonzalez Byass.

Forrtunately, this seems to be more long lasting than the previous Vilarnau wines. It has a good taste, plenty of tanine, but quite comfortable. However, like the previous ones, I feel that it is not competitive. For this price, you can get cheaper and better red wines.

This is a crazy wine. They mix 40% oak matured white wine with 60% young wine. I was only able to taste the 2007 one, which is fully in bad conditions. This is not surprising considering this stupid mixing between old and young wine. Nevertheless if you are able to taste it in the "correct" moment, maybe it is wonderful and competitive when compared with other oak matured white wines. Who knows!

This is a very good white wine. Nevertheless, it is not long lasting. I was able to taste the 2008 one, not available yet, thus, without label. Its price is not competitive (around 7 EUR). You can achieve better white wines for this price. In addition, I was not able to taste the 2007 wine. Anyway, I am pretty sure that it has the same problem than the rosé wine. It is not long lasting. It must be consumed during the year.

This is a very good rosé wine. Nevertheless, it is not long lasting. I was able to taste the 2008 one, not available yet, thus, without label. This one is great, although it is not as good as the outstanding Santa Digna Rosé, and it is more expensive (around 7 EUR).
I also tasted the Pinot noir Vilarnau 2007. It is drinkable, you can get some pleasure, but it is almost died.

This is a Classic rueda wine. I am satisfied with this wine, although it is more expensive than I thought, around 5.5 EUR (It was a gift that I received a couple of months ago). Very balanced Rueda wine. Felix Sanz is a largequality wine producer, which is a warranty.

This an interesting low price wine (good quality/price ratio). This young one is about 2,6 EUR. If you try the "crianza" you will get a very good wine for approx. 5 EUR Worth to taste it!
