An elegant white wine from an unusual blend of 30% Malvasía Riojana (aka Alarije), 30% Jaén Blanco (aka Calagraño), and 40% Viura (aka Macabeo), from one hectare of 45- to 67-year-old head-trained vines from four vineyards (El Pedrón, La Entrada, El Chorro, La Quemada) planted on shallow, calcareous marl soils on eroded slopes 550-620 meters altitude around the village of Viñaspre, in the Rioja Alavesa.  Grapes were harvested manually then pressed gently with a manual basket press, fermented with native yeasts in a mix of 500L Hungarian and French oak barrels and in concrete tank, then aged on the lees for five months.  Tentenublo Blanco is an ideal village white, showing loads of character and finesse for the price of a much simpler wine. It is fresh and chiseled, with silky florals and delicate white fruits that combine for a mouth-watering, mid-weight, swoon-worthy white.  Printed on the labels of Tentenublo Tinto and Blanco, alongside the name ‘Rioja’, is the winery’s own abbreviation: V.L.A.V. This is a message that you are about to open a bottle of Vino Libre de la Aldea de Vinaspre (“Free Wine from the Village of Viñaspre”).
