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

Castilla y Leon, in the heart of Spain, is a fascinating wine region with plenty of history, tradition and character going into each and every bottle which is produced there. The expansive, dry and arid plateau of Castilla y Leon means that the grapevines which grow there have to work hard to reach the moisture below ground, resulting in grapes which express plenty of the terroir they grow in, and thus reveal lots of flavor, aromas and the character of the region itself. Despite the difficult conditions and the blazing heat of Castilla y Leon, plenty of grape varietals grow there. As such, there is a wide range of red and white wines associated with the area, and wineries have generations of experience and expertise in making the most of the fruits they cultivate.

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.
