- Crisp and refreshing
- Pairs well with seafood
- Superb value!
TASTING NOTES: 87 Points - "The 2007 Garnacha Blanca is sourced from 100 year old vines. Medium straw-colored, the nose exhibits aromas of melon, mineral, and spring flowers. Crisp and refreshing on the palate, this bargain-priced effort will pair well with raw bar over the next 12-18 months." - Jay Miller, The Wine AdvocateCOMPOSITION: 100% Garnacha blanca. ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Located in Labastida's Jewish Quarter (Rioja Alavesa), its facilities consist of four houses, two of which are among the oldest in the town. Underneath these houses is a curious network of caves that dates back to 1200. These caves are ideally suited for storing young wines (in concrete tanks) and aging vintage wines, since there are no temperature changes or noise, and the degree of humidity remains constant all year long.

The art of viticulture was passed down to us from our forefathers, and our generation has taken the next step: for the past 10 years, we have been engaged in both wine growing and winemaking. We use the grapes from our own vineyards, which are located throughout Labastida, with a production output that we endeavor to keep below 6,000 kilos per hectare. Our own vineyards cover 20 hectares and currently produce the following grape varieties: Tempranillo 60%, Garnacha 15%, Viura 10%, Garnacha Blanco 5%, Malvasia 5%, Graciano 5%. (close) |
