Winemaking process:
The grapes come from some of Rueda's oldest Sauvignon Blanc vines, over 40 years old, on poor stony soils. After a short cold maceration and pneumatic pressing, the juice ferments at low temperature and the wine rests on its lees in stainless steel. Founder Victoria Pariente set up the winery in 1998 in honour of her grape-grower father, José.
Interesting notes:
∙ Rueda is best known for Verdejo, yet José Pariente planted Sauvignon Blanc here more than 40 years ago.
∙ The continental climate and poor, stony soils give the variety a distinctive mineral, herbal and rounded expression.
Vinoteka's note
José Pariente's Sauvignon Blanc comes from bush-trained vines over forty years old, among the first Sauvignon plantings in Rueda, and is made in small quantities. Cold maceration, then fermentation and four months on the lees in stainless steel; the house sums it up as "clean, aromatic, round". Pale yellow-green, with cut grass, exotic fruit and a mineral streak, fresh, intense and persistent. Serve at 7–10 °C with oysters, clams, grilled seafood or fresh cheeses.
