About the wine

The story of the still very young Tempranillo Blanco grape variety began directly in the Martinez Lacuesta vines. There, the white grapes were discovered on a vine that had always borne red fruit until then. It is known that the vine is a plant that is prone to mutations. This is how tests were started and the suitability of the white grapes was tested. As early as 2007, the grape received official recognition from DOCa Rioja. Today, there are almost 300 hectares of Tempranillo Blanco that are cultivated. The grapes are rather early ripe, with good sugar content and lively acidity. The wines are pale yellow in color, reminiscent of citrus, pome fruit, apple, pear, fresh herbs, with foral notes. On the palate, they appear juicy and lively with medium alcohol.
