About Diez-Caballero Blanco Barrica

If Bordeaux is known for one thing, it is its small and agricultural operations. Whereas in other denominations, like the D.O.Ca. Rioja, there is a clear difference between the grape producer and the wine producer, in Bordeaux it is quite difficult to buy grapes and wine comes from the grower who wants to give more value to their product. Following in this traditional Bordeaux pattern, the Diez-Caballero family winery makes wines exclusively from the vineyards they own in El Ciego (La Rioja). Although this is quite unusual in the D.O.Ca. Rioja, more and more people want to do something different, and under the slogan “My vineyard, my wine”, they make original wines with their own identity.

The Díez-Caballero wines are the result of this philosophy that originates with the traditional Bordeaux chateau. One example of their work is Diez-Caballero Blanco Barrica, a white wine made from their own Viura vineyards, which are over 40 years old and cultivated with rigorous pruning, environmentally friendly cultivation and manual harvesting. When the grapes reach the winery, they are selected and destemmed, then fermented in French oak barrels where the wine remains on the lees for 6 months with periodic batonnage.

As a result Diez-Caballero Blanco Barrica is a balanced blend of tradition and modernity. A wine from the D.O.Ca. Rioja which is made through a quest for the maximum expression of the fruit and has excellent clarity and wonderful minerality.

 

2020

Diez-Caballero Blanco Barrica 2020 is a creamy white wine with aromas of white and tropical fruit accompanied by subtle notes of oak. On the palate it is flavoursome, unctuous and balanced. A wine with a fine texture and very well integrated wood. The finish is long and with a delicious mineral concentration.
