2016 Raventós i Blanc De La Finca Conca del Riu Anoia
50% Xarel-lo, 40% Macabeo, 10% Parellada, each varietal coming from different plots, fermented separately and then blended for aging on the lees. Vineyards are located about 35 miles inland from Barcelona.
Fresh and inviting fruit-dominated nose. Mouthwatering citrus attack followed by succulent mid-palate with saline, spicy finish. Interesting combination of grapes that I have little experience with. Paired nicely with Jamón+Manchego croquetas and patatas brava.
2008 López de Heredia Viña Gravonia Blanco
Love this classic Rioja Blanco. Viura character on full display with piquant lemon character up front followed by marzipan and ginger on a saline finish. Paired well with Gambas al Ajillo and Rockfish al la Plancha.
