Pedro Ballesteros Torres MW, Sarah Jane Evans MW and Pierre Mansour tasted 54 wines with two outstanding and 15 highly recommended.
Entry criteria: Producers and UK agents were asked to submit their latest release of 100% Garnacha Blanca, or blends with 50% minimum, with availability in the UK or US markets
The verdict
Garnacha Blanca may not be as well-known as Spain’s other native white grapes, but for adventurous wine lovers, that’s undoubtedly part of its appeal. Not even our panel of expert judges were quite sure what to expect from this varied line-up of wines – though they were certainly keen to see how the grape is performing across different regions of Spain.
