Details
Remírez de Ganuza Blanco 2023
Honouring the great Rioja white wine tradition, the prestigious Remírez de Ganuza winery launched onto the market its first Spanish white wine a few years ago.
The 2023 vintage of the wine Remírez de Ganuza Blanco is a blend of Viura, the signature variety of the region, with Malvasía, and other white varieties (Alarije, Maturana Blanca, Moscatel...) The vineyards are 60 years of age on average.
The hand-picked grapes were kept cold for 24 hours and carefully selected. Then the free-run juice was fermented in French oak barrels, after which this white wine from La Rioja was aged for 10 months. During that period, the barrels were perodically rotated to stir the lees.
Bottled in September 2024, the white wine Remírez de Ganuza Blanco 2023 was cellared for no less than 18 months prior to being released onto the market.
Aerate this Burgundian Crianza white wine 30 minutes before drinking.

| Palate | Dense, complex, with remarkable potential for growth. The considerable structure of this wine of bodega Remírez de Ganuza is sustained by a solid acidity and a much welcomed freshness.
