It was a long tasting of big tannic Spanish wines and it was a relief to sample a few whites. The first is from Priorat and is 100%
Grenache Blanc. A lovely austere white from
Conreria d'Scala Dei for around $28. I want to try more of this one with a dinner.
The second bottle here is an excellent white
Rioja from
Lopez de Heredia called "Gravonia." This bottle is made from 100% Viura
(Macabeo). It also has to go through extensive aging in cask and bottle like its red counterparts must. Its a $19 bottle and shows its age with a hint of oxidation and aged fruit. This is another very nice clean white that I would want to try again.
