In 2009 Alvar purchased Vagüera, a tiny half-hectare plot of abandoned vines at an elevation of 950m (!!!) near the village of El Maderal, , again just south of the Toro appellation border. Untended since 2006, this site is a bewildering co-planted field blend of white varieties. Alvar so far has identified Doña Blanca, Albillo Rojo, Albillo Real, Albillo Negro, Albillo Castellano, Moscatel de Grano Menudo, Muscat de Alexandria, Moscatel Rojo, Godello, Verdejo, Palomino Fino, and Malvasia. There are at least another five varieties that Alvar is yet to identify. Records indicate that this vineyard was planted in 1921. This is a fascinating terroir in its own rite—a shallow, rocky, red clay soil over a limestone bedrock, mercifully north-facing, and sheltered by a forest of cork oak, giving a micro-climate cooled by aspect, elevation, and surroundings that result in a truly exceptional and unique and antique Spanish white, aromatic and complex.
