The only white I tasted this time, the 2017 Predicador Blanco is a blend of Garnacha Blanca with some Malvasía and Viura that was barrel fermented in French oak with indigenous yeasts and matured there for ten months. It's perfumed and elegant, with some complexity for its youth. The oak is nicely integrated, and it's ripe without excess, mixing white and yellow fruit. It manages to keep its poise and harmony, coming through as fresh in a warm vintage like 2017. 11,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2018. ... More details

Brilliant straw-yellow. Fragrant, oak-spiced pear, peach and melon aromas are complemented by suggestions of lemon pith and vanilla. Silky and penetrating on the palate, offering juicy orchard and pit fruit flavors that are given a spicy edge by a hint of ginger. Finishes very long and smooth, with lingering hints of smoke and pear.

Region: La Rioja

La Rioja is undoubtedly the jewel in the crown of Spain's wine regions, and the deliciously drinkable, complex and fascinating single red wines and blended wines of this special region have gone down in history as some of the finest on earth. La Rioja is located in the north of Spain, close to the Atlantic coast, but shielded from the cold and wet weather by the expansive Cantabrian mountains. As such, the climatic conditions in La Rioja are ideal for ripening the Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes used in the production of the fine red wines the region is famous for. Wineries in La Rioja take great pride in their heritage and traditions, and the winemakers of the region employ a range of time honored techniques alongside more modern methods to make the most of their superb crops each year.

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.
