The 2010 Vina Aljibes Blanco is a blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Chardonnay with the latter fermented in new French oak but raised in stainless steel. Inviting aromas of fresh herbs, melon, citrus, spring flowers, and mineral inform the nose of this savory, complex, well-balanced white. As the wine sits in the glass, tropical aromas emerge adding nuance to the wine’s personality. Drink this excellent value over the next 1-2 years. These new releases from Bodega Los Aljibes demonstrate what can be achieved by talented vignerons working in selected regions of La Mancha. Bodegas Los Aljibes is one of the up-and-coming stars of La Mancha.Importer: Casa Ventura Imports, Bellingham, WA; Tel. (360) 303-1760
