Product Description
Details
The maverick winemaker David Sampedro Gil, founder and owner of bodega DSG Vineyards, crafts the splendid white wine Phincas Thousand Milks from a blend of grapes sorted from two vineyards, Finca Lali and Finca La Abejera, located in Rioja Alavesa.
The main variety of this Spanish white wine is Viura (aka Macabeo), coming from vineyards planted in 1910. It is complemented with Malvasía and White Grenache, both planted in 1929.
The harvest of this organic white wine was carried out, as with all of the wines made by David Sampedro – one of La Rioja's new "terroirists" - following the specifications of the biodynamic calendar.
The grapes were destemmed, gently stomped and spontaneously fermented in tanks with native yeasts. After that, Phincas Thousand Milks 2019 was aged for 36 months in French oak barrels with frequent lees-stirrings.
Aerate this white wine from Rioja at least 30 minutes before drinking.
Pair this Crianza white wine with shrimp, white meat dishes and baked fish recipes.

Dear DSG!!
This white wine ought to revolutionize the way Rioja whites are perceived. This is something completely new because it cannot be further from the generic character that almost all Rioja whites, even the very best, display. 5 stars.

Congrats DSG Vineyards!!
A friend gave me this wine as a present. He was super excited about it, but I really didn't know what to expect. Queer name. Unknown producer (for me). Then I opened it, wait about 1 hour and... Wow!! The best white wine I've had in a long time. Deep, multi-layered, fresh. Makes love with your palate and leaves you in awe!
