Cune Monopole Blanco Seco Rioja 2021 750ml

-

Wine Advocate 91 points The dry white 2021 Monopole is a wine that has been produced since 1915, the oldest brand for white wine in Spain. It's classical with varietal character, young and fresh. The grapes, mostly Viura, were picked between September 21st and October 19th, and the wine achieved 13% alcohol, keeping a pH of 3.3 after fermenting in stainless steel, without using any oak, to keep the primary, fruit and floral characteristics of the grape. They consider 2021 a very good year for whites, with good freshness, but more heterogeneous, and Víctor Urrutia, CVNE's CEO, favors 2020 against 2021. It's primary, clean and fresh, with a tasty salty twist. Among the finest Monopole of recent years. Best After 2022James Suckling 92 points This has aromas of sliced pears, green tea, apples, fennel and lemons. Medium-bodied, crisp and clean. Crunchy stone fruit with a subtle herbal note. Refreshing. Mainly from viura. Drink now.
