Navarra, SpainVintage: 2018
Chivite Las Fincas Blanco 2 Garnachas is a barrel-fermented white wine made by the Chivite winery with the Garnacha Tinta and Garnacha Blanca grape varieties. This unique wine is the result of various rosé winemaking experiment, during which they discovered a melting pot of aromas, textures and hues, some colourless, authentic Blanc de Noirs, with captivating and exotic aromas. This gave them the idea of creating a new white wine made solely from the Garnacha Tinta. The blend needed rounding out and something that would give the wine a bit more complexity on the nose so that came with the addition of a proportion of Garnacha Blanca fermented in barrel.
The result is a wine that bears all the hallmarks of the Chivite wines and is therefore typical of the Legardeta estate, with an emphasis on acidic tension that brings freshness and balances the smoothness with a complex and nuanced bouquet.
Notable Awards
91/100 | Josh Raynolds, Vinous.com “Light, brilliant yellow. Peach, pear, blood orange and a hint of strawberry on the fragrant nose. Juicy and penetrating on the palate, offering chewy orchard and pit fruit flavors that take on floral and spice elements with air. The red berry note sneaks back in on a long, floral-driven finish that features a late jolt of smoky minerality. Drink 2021-2026.”
