Arzuaga Blanco Fan D. Oro 2021

A white in the land of reds. Monovarietal of Chardonnay from the Finca La Planta, owned by the winery and located in Quintanilla de Onésimo. The soils are clay-calcareous at more than 900 meters of altitude. It is harvested by hand and after careful selection of the clusters, they are slowly and gently pressed, to be decanted overnight and then encased for 9 months in new French oak barrels. Very remarkable white, bright and clean. A point of fruity acidity that contrasts with the slight unctuousness and a certain weight on the palate.

Talking about Ribera de Duero without talking about Arzuaga would be, to say the least, nonsense. Winery located in Valladolid, in the heart of the Denomination of Origin. Its star farm and the place where its journey begins is La Planta. 1400 hectares surrounded by pines, holm oaks, junipers, wild boars, deer and a long etcetera in living nature. In addition, it has a perfect land, climate and orientation for the wines that have always wanted to make: from young wine with a brief oak aging, to its Special Reserve that only takes place in excellent vintages, passing through the emblematic Arzuaga Aging that, year after year continues to be the top wine of so many tables. Meticulous work, mastery, results in wines of a resounding elegance difficult to forget.
