Tempranillo Blanco 2022

The alcoholic fermentation was carried out in 10,000-liter stainless steel tanks using selected natural yeasts from these two vineyards, with the aim of highlighting soil characteristics from each of the plots. Aged for 3 months in 225-liter French oak barrels with a light toast in order to provide a more complex character and a creamy finish with greater volume on the palate, while highlighting the fruit.

Tempranillo Blanco, born of a mutation of red Tempranillo in 1988 in Rioja, was cultivated by winemakers after a decade of observation. The “Los Campillos” and “Camino Arenzana” vineyards, located at 480 and 600 meters respectively, bring floral, spicy and fruity aromas to the wine. Bodegas Riojanas practices sustainable viticulture, respecting biodiversity and avoiding insecticides and pesticides.

Slightly golden yellow in color. On the nose, tropical fruits such as pineapple and other citrus fruits such as grapefruit dominate, with small floral touches on a slightly spicy background contributed by the ageing in barrels. On the palate it is fresh and unctuous, with a great fruit character, complemented by hints of spices and a good volume which adds length and persistence.
