Abaris Blanco Fermentado en Barrica 2022
Descripción
Este blanco de Abeica se elabora con una Viura procedente de un a parcela de viñedos muy viejos en Ábalos. Fresco y ligero, repleto de aromas de manzana verde y pera que se funden sobre un fondo tostado y cremoso de la barrica en la que realizó su fermentación y una leve crianza. Una maravilla compleja y muy elegante.

Opinión de los críticos
A precise, exciting viura that’s a real discovery from Rioja. Reductive, with lots of flint and roasted white sesame seeds, but so pure and incisive, with limes and green apples. Such energy on the palate that's all about sharpened acidity and limey fruit. Tense and medium-bodied but really intense, with a lightly saline finish. Long, mouthwatering and delicious. From vines in Abalo that are close to 60 years old. More of a Chablis style of viura. A great value. Drink now.
The white here is the 2022 Abaris, produced with grapes from two old plots of Viura, is a certified village wine that was fermented in used 500-liter barrels where it matured for 11 months with the lees but without bâtonnage. It's powerful, with 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.3 and seven grams of acidity, reflecting well the warm and dry year that burned a lot of malic acid in the grapes, but they balanced it out with an earlier harvest. The whites were not the first to be picked, but by adjusting the picking dates, the wines keep unusual freshness and balance. It has a nose of pollen, flowers and spice and is chalky and rocky, with a stony sensation and the oak very subtle and very integrated. The wine is serious, austere and mineral, a triumph over the conditions of the vintage. 3,100 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2024. This wine was first produced in 2016 and, since 2019, using 500-liter barrels. (Luis Guitérrez)
