La Vicalanda Tempranillo Blanco

The new 2020 La Vicalanda Tempranillo Blanco is the first vintage for this bottling from the early-ripening variety that delivers notes of white flowers and citrus if picked early (this is 13.5%) and with subtle spice from six months in oak foudres. This is one of the finest bottlings of the finicky variety that I think we're beginning to understand just now. It's clean, straightforward and fresh. 4,500 bottles were filled in January 2022.
