Alegre Valganon Rioja Blanco 2019 – 750ML Hot on Sale

Description
The 2019 Blanco is a blend of Viura and Garnacha Blanca that wants to be fresh but complex, elegant but structured. It s a blend of different vinifications, some with skin contact, some with malolactic, etc. in search of achieving more complexity and showing the limestone soils from a cool place even, in warmer vintages like this 2019. The bottled wine is 13.05% alcohol and has freshness with a pH of 3.3 and close to six grams of tartaric. It s very medicinal, textured and with some tannin, from early-picked grapes to keep the acidity. It s also balsamic, with notes of cloves, dry flowers, chamomile, quince and citrus, so it s certainly not your average young white from Rioja. It aged in oak for 11 months (500-liter barrels and 1,000-liter foudres). The palate has a lovely texture, round and lush with great freshness, and it s structured and long.
