Arrocal, Blanco de Guarda Abillo Mayor

This has a straw yellow color, with greenish reflections, it has a clean and bright appearance. On the nose there are notes of water pear, ripe apple, memories of stone fruit, with a mineral background with a slight balsamic touch that reminiscent of lemon thyme and lemon verbena accompanied by a light vegetable touch. Tense, with great acidity. Fat and round center of mouth with notes of Wellassembled aging without losing the prominence of the fruit.

Arrocal, Blanco de Guarda Abillo Mayor 2021	92 View from the Cellar The Blanca de Guarda bottling from Bodegas Arrocal is made from the Albillo Mayor grape, with the wine aged for one year in French oak barrels during its élevage. The 2021 version comes in at an even thirteen percent octane and delivers a classy and refined bouquet of ripe pear, clementine, a nice touch of beeswax, a fine base of salty soil, gentle notes of hazelnut, lemon peel, vanillin oak and a musky floral topnote. On the palate the wine is bright, focused and full-bodied, with fine depth in the mid-palate, good soil inflection and grip, a lovely framework of acidity and a long, complex and impeccably balanced finish. This is really a lovely bottle and as good an example of white wine as I have ever tasted from Ribera de Duero! 2024-2035.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
