Description

Juan Carlos Sancha · DOCa Rioja

Tempranillo Blanco, the white mutation of Tempranillo authorised in Rioja in 2008. The vineyard, planted in 1997, sits on old terraces at 565 metres, on clay-limestone soils with iron and plenty of rolled pebbles, farmed organically. After destemming, the grapes are gently pressed, settled statically and finish fermenting at 15 °C in stainless steel. A young wine, with no oak.

The winery

Juan Carlos Sancha

Small winery in the Alto Najerilla, one of the coldest areas of Rioja, run by Juan Carlos Sancha, a viticulture lecturer who champions minor grape varieties. He farms century-old Garnacha vines organically and has driven the revival of Maturana Blanca, Tempranillo Blanco, Maturana Tinta and Monastel, all approved by the Consejo Regulador in 2008. Short productions and single-plot wines.
