The 2008 El Blanc XXV is 55% Viognier blended with two as yet to be identified varieties (recovering old indigenous grapes are among the Bodega’s experiments) with 20% of the wine barrel-fermented. Minerals, almonds, white flowers, baking spices, and stone fruit aromas compose the bouquet of this intriguing effort. Round, ripe, savory, and impeccably balanced, this pleasure-bent white will deliver enjoyment for another 3-4 years.
Albet I Noya is a progressive winery that farms organically and is willing to experiment. They produce a wide range of wines, many of which are not carried by their USA importer.
