Bodega Alegre Valganon Blanco, Rioja DOCa, Spain 2021 Case (6x750ml) Carignan (Carinena) Well defined aromas of woodThe 2021 Blanco was produced with a blend of 85% Viura, 10% Garnacha Blanca and 5% Maturana Blanca and has 12. 9% alcohol and a pH of 3. 18. It fermented with natural yeasts and some skin maceration and 50% malolactic. It matured in concrete, foudre and 500 liter barrels, working the lees daily at first and then every week after Christmas. It's fresh and has an exotic twist; it's tasty, with an almost salty touch on the finish, quite light. 92 Pts
