2022 Nivarius Tempranillo Blanco
Product Details
Wine Type: White Wine
Grape Varietal: Tempranillo Blanco
Country of Origin: Spain
Appellation/Region: Rioja
Farming: Sustainable

100% sustainably farmed Tempranillo Blanco, a relatively rare white mutation of its ubiquitous red forbear. Sourced from high elevation vineyards in the Valle Del Iregua, Laderas Delmoncalvillo and Montes De Clavijo subzones. Fermented and aged solely in stainless steel.  13.5% alcohol. 17,000 bottles made. 

Nivarius is one of three wineries belonging to Javier Palacios, each dedicated to different genres : Nivarius exclusively (and most unusually) to white Rioja, Trus to Ribeira del Duero, and Proelio to red wines. The vineyards are relatively high in the Rioja Alta at 650 meters, and offer an impressive variety of soil types and inclinations. But they are generally north-facing and have an average age of 45 years. Also, unusually for the region, the wines are produced 85% from their own holdings. Farming practices are very traditional, with all the plowing done by horses. The estate is in the second year of conversion to organic certification. Fermentation via indigenous yeasts is achieved in large wooden vats, with further aging all done in increasingly large barrels and final assembly executed in concrete.

91 points, James Suckling, "A fresh and delicious tempranillo blanco that has more than enough energy to support its phenolic, full-bodied palate. Plenty of white fruit, green plums and stones, but subtle and elegantly rendered. Drink now."

91 points, Tim Atkin MW. "Nivarius' Tempranillo Blanco is the cheapest wine in its range, but it's made in the same refreshing style as its partners. Made with grapes grown between 600 and 700 metres, it has classic flavors of nectarine and passion fruit embellished by some cream from four months on lees and a twist of lime on the finish. 2024-26"
