The 2021 Blanco Reserva from Remirez de Ganuza is built on patience and confidence, the kind that comes from knowing exactly where you are headed. It opens slowly, unfurling layers of citrus oil, baked apple, and stone fruit, followed by subtle notes of almond, spice, and a faint smoky whisper from careful oak aging. What really stands out is the texture. Lush and gently creamy, but always held in check by a vibrant, mouthwatering line that keeps everything fresh and focused. Each sip feels composed, evolving rather than declaring itself all at once. It is a white wine with depth and presence, yet it never forgets how to move gracefully. This is a bottle for the table and for time. Roast chicken, rich seafood, mushrooms, or dishes that sit somewhere between comfort and elegance. Pour it now and enjoy the energy, or let it stretch out in the glass and see where it takes you. Layered, confident, and quietly captivating, this is Rioja Blanco showing just how expressive it can be when given the space to breathe.
