Remirez de Ganuza, Blanco Rioja 2016 (1.5L) - From $124.99 to $39.99 this week only https://vinousreverie.com/remi... Remirez de Ganuza started his winery in 1989 after a career in vineyard real estate. He spent the 1970s and 1980s buying and selling vineyards, mostly in Rioja Alavesa, where he developed knowledge of the region. With six vineyards situated in the foothills of the Cantabrian mountain range, he blends some of the best terroirs from Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alta. The combination of high elevation, clay/limestone soils, increased oceanic influence, and 50 year old average vines produces low-yielding vines with exceptional quality fruit. In this white blend, the emphasis is to Viura and Malvasia. Previously these grapes were used to compliment the red wines via the skins but now this white blend receives a Burgundian level of attention showing deeply textural tension in the body and contrast in the palate. Ripe orchard fruit and refreshing minerality mingle together, giving way to a persistent yet silky finish. This would be great to have at parties, soirees and even box socials. Of course, this would also make a great Mother's Day gift (what mother wouldn't want to down the whole bottle on a relaxing Sunday afternoon?) And every bottle comes in it's own wooden case - ready to be gifted. 93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"There are two whites now, the youngest of which is the 2016 Remírez de Ganuza Blanco, a barrel-fermented blend of 80% Viura and the remaining 20% Malvasía Riojana, Garnacha Blanca and other white varieties that matured in new French oak barrels with lees and bâtonnage for ten months. It's super clean and fresh, young and varietal, vibrant and lively, really impressive. The oak is neatly folded into the fruit. A great showing for this white. 25,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2017."93 points James Suckling"Lilting, floral and bright with freshpear aromas. The palate has very pristine, pure and focused apple, lime and pear flavors. Bright and crisp. Lots to like here. Drink now." Not available for shipping. Only pickup or local delivery.
