Curator's Notes

“The second most decorated mill in the world for 2024–2025, Venta del Barón plays the counterpoint to Priego's more muscular Picual style: Picuda and Hojiblanco conspire for a floral, almost feathery opening — ripe pear, green almond, a whisper of fennel — before a gentle, sustained pepper coats the throat. Impeccable on grilled sea bass or drizzled cold over burrata.”
