The first white is the 2018 Predicador Blanco, a blend of 59% Garnacha Blanca, 32% Malvasía Riojana (Alarije) and 9% Viura, an austere barrel from different vineyards, most of them on clay and limestone soils. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in barrel for eight months. There is ripeness without excess in this 2018, as well as power and freshness, and the oak is neatly folded into the fruit, coming through as harmonious and integrated. The nose is elegant, with notes of flowers and dry fruit and a twist of spice. The palate is seamless and balanced, with clean flavors and a pleasant twist in the finish. This has to be one of the finest Predicador Blanco to date. It should age nicely. 10,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2019.

Region: La Rioja

La Rioja is by far the most famous wine region of Spain, and remains one of the world's great wine producing regions, consistently offering deep, complex red wines of character and distinction, partly due to the fact that La Rioja benefits from excellent soils, rich in minerals and nutrients, and plenty of sunshine. The climatic conditions allow the fine grape varietals to reach full ripeness and express plenty of the best features of their terroir, making La Rioja wines some of the most interesting to have ever come out of Europe. The Cantabrian mountains to the north provide the perfect shelter from the colder, wetter influences of the Atlantic oceans, and in the beloved vineyards of La Rioja, wineries have been cultivating exceedingly flavorful Tempranillo grapes for generations for the inclusion in their fine single variety and blended wines.

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.
