Region: Rioja, Spain
Varietal: Blend of 9 white varietals
Tasting Notes: Legendary, unique white Rioja made from nine varieties planted from cuttings Telmo Rodriguez took from winemaker friends across France. The field blend changes each year, but it includes Chardonnay, Roussanne, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Viura. A super white with dried-apple, peach, stone and mineral aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied with layers of really complex, ripe fruit and bright acidity. Undertones of cream and nougat. Seamless texture. Rioja’s answer to grand cru Burgundy. Made from organically grown grapes. Drink now or cellar for the next 20 years.
