Blanco sobre Lías
The freshness of Rioja's indigenous varieties, indulged by the creaminess and unctuosity of time
Varieties
Garnacha Blanca and Tempranillo Blanco
Vineyard
Garnacha Blanca, one of Rioja's forgotten indigenous varieties, is from our estate Los Almendros in Ausejo, in the Rioja Oriental subregion, which are known for their Mediterranean profile characterised by their body, structure and incredible freshness.
Tempranillo Blanco comes from high altitude vineyards, which sandy, permeable soils and cooler climatic characteristics, provide ideal conditions for this variety to contribute an elegant, crisp acidity to the blend.
Vinification and ageing
Fermented in concrete vats, each variety then ages on its lees for about 6 months in a combination of concrete tanks and French-oak barrels.
After this time, we use concrete tanks for the final blend.
Colour
Clean, vibrant pale yellow with a golden rim.
Aroma
The complex and fresh nose showcases white flowers and white fruits with balsamic notes.
Palate
A lovely fresh, medium-weight, saline wine.
Food pairing
A versatile wine, ideal accompaniment to light flavoured rice dishes, seafood pasta and white or blue fish.
