The white 2014 Remírez de Ganuza Blanco is a blend of 70% Viura, 20% Malvasía Riojana, 10% Garnacha Blanca and other white grapes that matured in new French oak barrels for nine months. This wine was first produced in 2013 and is different from a Reserva that will eventually be sold (I previewed it and it feels superb). This is the white that replaced the white R. Punto. It's very balsamic and still quite oaky, but there is a feeling of freshness underneath that made me think of a wine to age in bottle. I don't really like oaky wines, but white Rioja is a wine that needs oak and then needs time in bottle. There are hints of licorice, fennel and aniseed with a mélange of white flowers and fresh fruit. The palate has deep flavors and vibrant acidity, coming through clean and quite precise. 20,000 bottles produced.
