L'avis des experts
Miguel Merino makes this exceptional white from an equal mix of Viura and Garnacha Blanca, both sourced from old-vine parcels in Briones. Gently wooded in 500-litre barrels, it's a wine that’s inspired by white Burgundy, with struck match reduction, layers of lime, citrus and lanolin, and a persistent finish. 2024-30.
The white 2022 Blanco was produced with 50/50 Garnacha Blanca (planted in 1946 in their La Loma vineyard) and Viura from various old plots. They were fermented separately in 500-liter oak barrels, where the wine matured with lees for 10 months. The objective is to keep the Rioja typicity but with acidity, freshness and minerality more than oak aromas and flavors. The wine has a moderate 13.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.2 coupled with almost seven grams of acidity, so the freshness and acidity are there. The wine is floral and herbal, and the oak is unnoticeable; it finishes very tasty, almost salty. Nothing would point at a warm year in this wine. 3,712 bottles were filled in September 2023.
