Description
The winemaking philosophy at Abel Mendoza is to express the purity of the fruit and the high altitude terroir in which it grows. His wines are not overly oaked or extracted, instead they are understated and classy. The Jarrarte Blanco is an intriguing old vine blend of 33% Viura, 33% Tempranillo Blanco with the remainder being made up of Torrontes, Garnacha Blanca and Malvasia. All vineyard work is carried out organically and the harvest is manual, keeping the fruit in the best possible condition when it arrives in the winery.
The Jarrarte Blanco shows wonderful purity of fruit with a delicious lick of acidity running from start to finish. Stone fruit and floral characters mingle with a more herbal/fennel tinged palate that leads to a refined, fresh finish. Wonderful stuff.
