Description
Tentenublo Blanco is a white wine of the D.O. Rioja, produced by Tentenublo Wines, a personal project of Roberto Oliván, a young winemaker who has earned a prominent place in the revitalization of Rioja wines. His winery is located in Viñaspre, a town in Rioja Alavesa. Tentenublo Wines is characterised by a viticulture of minimal intervention, respectful of the environment and focused on preserving the character of the vineyard.
The wine is a blend of 40% Viura, 30% Malvasía Riojana (also known as Alarije) and 30% Jaén Blanca. The vineyards are between 37 and 67 years old, located on eroded slopes with marl and sandstone soils at an altitude of approximately 600 metres. These shallow soils, with the presence of sandstone bedrock, contribute to the mineral character of the wine. The climate is Atlantic with Mediterranean influences, which favours a balanced ripening of the grapes.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand between the end of September and the beginning of October. The winemaking process includes a low-yield pressing to extract the must as delicately as possible. Fermentation takes place in 500-litre Hungarian and French oak barrels, combined with concrete tanks, to ensure a controlled fermentation that preserves the freshness and expression of the wine. Ageing on the lees lasts 5 months, giving the wine an enveloping texture and greater complexity.
Taste
Tentenublo Blanco is a wine that stands out for its elegant and complex profile. On the nose, it presents aromas of stone fruits such as peach and apricot, accompanied by delicate floral notes that add freshness. On the palate, the entry is creamy, with good acidity that balances the fatty sensation and adds liveliness. The palate is enveloping, with a remarkable structure that comes from the ageing on lees, and a finish marked by its mineral and saline character, a reflection of the soils of the vineyards. This wine is ideal to accompany white fish, roasted vegetables and smoked food, and is recommended to be served between 9 and 12 ºC.
