The white 2019 Picarana comes from a warm and very low-yielding year when they harvested in July (28th), their earliest to date because the vines suffered frost and then it was extremely dry and warm. This has a Mediterranean nose of dry straw and waxy apples, a little in the style of a Garnacha Blanca, with a round palate and mellow acidity, with moderate alcohol, around 13%, as the ripeness was blocked because of the heat and drought, tasty flavors and a long dry finish. It feels polished and ready, a little more evolved than expected, developing some notes of pollen, honey and caramel as the wine sat in the glass. 11,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2020.

Country: Spain

Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.
