2020 Blanco, Remelluri, Rioja, Spain

The exceptional 2020 Blanco is from vines between 605 and 805 meters above sea level that were harvested over multiple passes after one episode of hail. This vintage had a slow fermentation, and it feels like a year of finesse and elegance. The wine has fluidity, elegance but also intensity, depth and very pure flavors, with a very saline finish, super tasty. This could very well be the finest vintage for the white... It's not a shy wine, with 14.2% alcohol and a low pH of 3.3, denoting very good freshness. 9,969 bottles were filled in June 2022 from almost 10 hectares of vineyards.Drink 2023 - 2032Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate (July 2023)

Flinty nose with effusive minerals, crushed stones and chalk. Salted lemons, fine lees and a hint of sour cream. Really bright and expressive, yet intense. Superb energy and length here. Long, mouthwatering finish. Goes on and on. Lots of purity, too. Drink now or hold.shuai_zekun, jamessuckling_com (November 2023)
