The organic white 2018 Peñalba López Vino Blanco has less Albillo than it usually has, as the variety delivered low yields after the frosts of 2017. It's 35% Chardonnay, 25% Albillo and 20% each Viura and Sauvignon Blanc, quite an unusual mix, especially for Ribera del Duero (it's sold as Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León). It fermented and matured in oak barrels for 11 months and has a creamy nose with notes of white flowers and fruit, pollen and spices. It has character and something intriguing about it, with a tasty palate that is difficult to assign to a particular place. It finishes long and tasty. 7,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2019. ... More details

Region: Castilla Y Leon

From the beautifully robust, boisterous and spicy red Tempranillo wines of the west, to the fruity, aromatic white Verdejo wines from the Rueda, Castilla y Leon is a Spanish wine region with something to please everyone. The region itself is a particularly fascinating one for European wine fans, as it dates back several centuries and is, in many ways, the defining region of Spain for the country's viticultural identity. Dry, arid soils and baking heat produce wines of a unique character, coming from grapes which have to struggle to attain the moisture they require in order to ripen. The flavors of Castilla y Leon are big, bold and seductive, and packed full of all the passion and history only a country like Spain can provide.

Country: Spain

From the deep and intense Rioja wines, or the dry and refreshing Ruedas, from Tempranillos to Verdejos, the range and quality of Spanish wines is always going to impress and fascinate. With several thousand years of traditions and expertise leading the way, Spanish wineries are currently producing some of the most flavorful and interesting wines to come out of Europe, striving to overcome the reputation problems the country suffered in the mid to late twentieth century. Despite being one of the largest producers of wine in the world, with billions of bottles being filled each year, Spanish wine producers are more interested in quality over quantity than ever before. The results of this are some truly world class wines rivaling even the finest produce of France in regards to balance, character and flavor, gaining new fans and enthusiasts every day.
