Jarrarte Blanco
Lively guava and pineapple fruit flavors are underscored by a savory thread of dried sage and smoke in this bright, creamy white. Well-cut on the spiced finish.
The little sister to the more well-known 5V white blend, the Jarrarte Blanco from Abel Mendoza and Maite Fernandez is their invitation to you to experience white Rioja wine.
Tasting Notes
The nose is fresh with hints of citrus and herbs. On the palate, it rings fruity, refreshing, balanced and lengthy.
Winemaking Notes
“Jarrarte” is the name of an area next to the river that flows through San Vicente de la Sonsierra in Rioja. The area once belonged to the kingdom of Navarre, and the word has roots in the Basque language. “Arte” (between) and “Jarra” (stones). This is an homage to the soils of the region which are very stony and alluvial. The little sister to the more well-known 5V white blend, the Jarrarte Blanco from Abel Mendoza and Maite Fernandez is their invitation to you to experience white Rioja wine. From vineyards over 35 years old located in La Sonsierra, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel vats and left on the lees for added complexity. No wood is used in order to retain freshness and highlight the fruit from this incredible region.
