90	OwenBargreen.com	Made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, this offers a soft texture on the palate, with copious minerals that play well with lemon rind, green melon and shades of cashew nut flavors. Enjoy in its fresh youth. Drink 2023-2028- Owen Bargreen - October, 2023
90	Wine Enthusiast	Pago de la Jaraba Sauvignon Blanc 2022 (La Jaraba). The scent of Fuji apple and slivered almonds set the stage for white peach, passion fruit and honeysuckle flavors set into a vivid acid backbone. This wine is ideal for those who like wines with a strong f loral character. Grapes of Spain. MIke DeSimone, Issue June/ July 2024
88	View from the Cellar	The 2022 Pago de La Jaraba” Sauvignon Blanc comes in at a sleek twelve percent alcohol in this vintage. The wine’s aromatic constellation is bright and complex, hopping from the glass in a mix of lime, fresh-cut grass, orange peel and a lovely base of stony soil tones. On the palate the wine is vibrant, medium-full and wide open in personality, with a good core of fruit, fine soil undertow, good framing acids and a long, well balanced and complex finish. A lovely example and an excellent value! 2023-2027. John Gilman - Issue #103 January/February 2023.

90	Wine Enthusiast	Refreshingly light bodied while expressive, this energetic Sauvignon Blanc combines fresh hay, lemongrass, with juicy limes and citrus blossoms. Drink now and enjoy! E.C.B.-August-September2025
89	View from the Cellar	The 2023 Pago de La Jaraba” Sauvignon Blanc is once again nicely low in octane, tipping the scales at a very civilized twelve percent alcohol. The wine’s bouquet is properly grassy, as well as bright and complex, delivering notes of gooseberry, fresh lime, a touch of mint, stony soil tones, white flowers and freshly-cut grass. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and complex, with a good core of fruit, just enough framing acids to keep it light on its feet, good balance and a long, nicely bouncy finish. This will want drinking it its relative youth, but it is a very good bottle and a great value! 2024-2025. John Gilman, Issue 109, January – February 2024

93	Wine Review Online	This is a terrific wine regardless of whether it is everyone’s notion of Sauvignon Blanc. But with that said, there are so many different styles of Sauvignon Blanc around the world, from New Zealand’s Marlborough to France’s Loire Valley’s Sancerre (which is itself changing rapidly due to climate change) that anyone stuck on just one style is going to miss out on a lot of very good wine. This shows non-pungent aromas of dried herbs and cut grass that you’ll know it is Sauvignon Blanc, but then true medium-body with excellent depth of flavor balanced by plenty of acidity to drive the flavors along and freshen the finish. The flavors include ripe melon with tropical undertones, dried apricot and citrus edging. Quite detailed and yet very coherent in its complexity, this is fun just to drink if that’s your preference, but also interesting enough to pay close attention to over an evening. .

89	View from the Cellar	The 2024 vintage of Pago de La Jaraba Sauvignon Blanc arrived a few weeks before I wrapped up this second installment on the wines of Spain and Portugal. The wine is bright and youthful on the nose, hopping from the glass in a mix of gooseberry, pink grapefruit, fresh-cut grass, a fine base of soil, limepeel and a topnote of white flowers. On the palate the wine is zesty, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a good core of fruit, fine balance and a long, tasty finish. Good juice and a fine value. 2025-2028. John Gilman, Issue 117, May– June 2025
