Remirez de Ganuza's White Rioja is subtle, fragrant, elegant and mineral with fresh notes. Peaches, citrus fruits are followed by aromatic herbs and slate minerality. It is pure and vibrant as well as full body with silky fine texture. Flavourful, such a pleasure.

AWARDS AND REVIEWS

There are two whites now, the youngest of which is the 2016 Remírez de Ganuza Blanco, a barrel-fermented blend of 80% Viura and the remaining 20% Malvasía Riojana, Garnacha Blanca and other white varieties that matured in new French oak barrels with lees and bâtonnage for ten months. It's super clean and fresh, young and varietal, vibrant and lively, really impressive. The oak is neatly folded into the fruit. A great showing for this white. 25,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2017. by

A rich texture is focused by rapier acidity in this energetic white. Pear and apple flavors mingle with gooseberry, tarragon and white tea notes. Juicy and long through the minerally finish. Drink now through 2026.
