They wanted to recover a white variety that had always been present in the Rioja vineyards with the 2018 Garnacha Blanca, produced with grapes picked after a challenging growing season and a not-so-easy harvest. It fermented in French oak barrels with neutral yeasts and matured in barrel with the fine lees that were periodically stirred. All these whites were bottled a few weeks ago, and the wines feel very young and tender. But I can already see the personality of the Garnacha Blanca, a grape that Mendoza thinks has very high potential, and this wine has alcohol and acidity. The palate is vibrant and has higher acidity and freshness than the Torrontés and Tempranillo Blanco, and it feels very focused and clean. All the whites I tasted felt very pure and transparent. This should age nicely in bottle. 1,724 bottles were filled in March 2019. No 2017 was bottled, as they lost the crop to frost; the few grapes they could save went to the white blend 5V.
