Lacuesta 2021 Blanco Rioja
Lacuesta 2021 Blanco Rioja
The wine is a bright green-yellow colour with great aromatic intensity. The pear, apple and melon notes in harmony with floral touches are worthy of special mention. It is very fresh and agile on the palate, with a long finish that is heavily laden with fruit. A fresh, gastronomic wine.
GRAPE VARIETIES: 80% Viura, 20% white Tempranillo.
2021 VINTAGE:
After a growing cycle that was hit by drought,
the rains that came in late September had a hugely positive effect
on the ripening stage, producing fruit that had a better overall
balance. The grapes we harvested were in an excellent state of
ripeness, with a good equilibrium between alcohol, acidity, aromas
and polyphenols. This allowed us to produce high-quality wines that
are really representative of our origins.
VINEYARD: Our Lacuesta white is a blend of Viura and white
Tempranillo grapes from 30-year-old vines in our Rioja Alta vineyards
near Haro. These vineyards offer unbeatable conditions for the
growing of this variety. The soil is nutrient-poor and covered by
smooth pebbles, which greatly aids the grape variety's character, rich
in aromas with an agreeable, elegant structure.
WINEMAKING: Separate manual harvesting of the two grape
varieties. Each type of grape was separately cold-fermented in steel
vats for 14 days. The wine was bottled in February 2022.
