Ljalba Tempranillo Blanco 2020 comes from Rioja, one of Spain's most prestigious wine regions, where the winery Ljalba has set out to create unique and innovative wines. This specific wine is notable as it is made from Tempranillo Blanco, a mutation of the traditional red Tempranillo grape variety that was first discovered and certified in 1988 in Rioja.
Winemaking: The production of Tempranillo Blanco involves careful techniques to preserve the grape's fresh and fruity characteristics. The wine is likely to undergo a cold maceration to extract maximum aroma, followed by a fermentation with natural yeasts at a low temperature to retain the primary fruitiness.
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
-
Nose: The wine presents an array of tropical fruits such as pineapple and banana, combined with notes of citrus and perhaps a hint of white flowers or herbs, typical of white grapes from cooler climates.
-
Taste: In the mouth, Ljalba Tempranillo Blanco is fresh and lively, with a distinct fruity taste that reflects the aromas of the nose. There is a balance between a crisp acidity and a dry but fruity finish, giving the wine an elegant and refreshing mouthfeel.
-
Finish: It has an elegant and persistent finish, where the fruit flavors are enhanced by a pleasant dryness, probably from the small part that has been in contact with oak.
Aging Potential: Although designed to be enjoyed young to enjoy its fresh and fruity profile, it can also be aged for up to 3 years to develop more complex flavor notes.
Ljalba Tempranillo Blanco 2020 is a pioneering wine that introduces a new and exciting side to Rioja's traditional winemaking, offering wine lovers a chance to explore the potential of a white variety of the beloved Tempranillo grape type.
