Description

Le Domaine Blanco de Guarda est le fruit de dix années de recherches menées par Abadía Retuerta. Issu de vignes de Sauvignon blanc qui ont su s’adapter à la perfection à un terroir majoritairement consacré au vin rouge, c’est un vin blanc qui a du corps. Modérément alcoolisé, il offre une excellente acidité, un arome complexe, et présente un potentiel de garde qui lui permettra d’être dégusté pendant une dizaine d’années.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

The hidden treasure here is the almost unknown white, of which I tasted the 2017 Le Domaine, a barrel-fermented blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc with some 20% of Verdejo, Godello and other white varieties. It has Loire-like freshness; all the varieties fermented together, and the Verdejo adds some acidity, as it's pruned to be able to harvest it early. This has a smoky touch, with great elegance and restrain. They think of this as a white to lay down, one with potential to develop further complexity. It has subtle notes of white peach and flowers as well as good ripeness and fills your palate while keeping its poise. Very tasty. 17,500 bottles and 300 magnums were filled in May 2018, yet it feels harmonious. Remarkably fresh and balanced for a warm year.

James Suckling:

Plenty of fresh grapefruit (pink and yellow). Juicy and rather elegant. This is a refreshing sauvignon blanc with good depth and ripeness.
