Details
Suañé Blanco Reserva 2020
The wine Suañé Blanco Reserva is produced by bodega Alonso & Pedrajo Viticultores, an up-and-coming project of two families that share a passion for the amazing Rioja terroir.
A blend of Viura (75%) and Sauvignon Blanc (25%), this Spanish white wine from the DOCa Rioja is sourced from vineyards located in Villalba de Rioja and Haro, at around 580 metres of altitude, in a transitional area between Atlantic and Continental climate.
After being meticulously sorted and partially destemmed, the grapes were spontaneously fermented and macerated with the skins for 10 days before pressing.
Then this Reserva white wine went into new and used 228-litre French oak barrels, in which it was aged for a period of 12 months, with weekly lees-stirrings.
After that, the white wine Suañé Blanco Reserva 2020 was transferred into concrete diposits, where it was spontaneously clarified for 3 months.
Bottled after a mild filtration, this white wine from La Rioja was finally stored for no less than 15 months before hitting the shelves.
| Appearance | The white wine Suañé Blanco Reserva is deep amber with some golden reflections. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This blend of Viura and Sauvignon Blanc is poised, richly layered and impressively elegant. Aromas of jasmine and honeysuckle, with some pear, citrus and peach, intertwined with hints of ginger, hazelnuts, clove and honey, underscored by herbs and fresh hay. |
| Palate | Very complex, with an exquisite texture, a firm, incisive acidity and phenomenal definition, with plenty of things going on. This wine of the Alonso & Pedrajo Viticultores winery is delicately spicy and saline, ending with a note of beeswax, scrubland and flint. |
| Our personal opinion | Stunning! The wine Suañé Blanco Reserva 2020 is an outstanding white Rioja. Amazing quality for money. |
