Remírez de Ganuza, Blanco Gran Reserva, Rioja, Spain, 2013

The first vintage for this Gran Reserva Blanco – and it deserves plenty of success. From a vineayrd at 600m and as result shows excellent freshness. Aromatically it's refined, with delicate oak overtones. The fruit is pure and crisp, with notes of lemon and honey. A single vineyard wine, though it has not been registered as such. Only 3,000 bottles produced. Although 2013 was not a great year for red Rioja, this white Gran Reserva bucked the trend.
