"The 2022 Rioja “Los Tasugueras” Blanco from Bodega Moraza is made entirely from Tempranillo Blanco. The vineyard is farmed biodynamically and the wine is fermented and raised entirely in stainless steel tanks. It comes in at a svelte 12.5 percent alcohol in this vintage and offers up bright and complex bouquet of lemon, tart pear, chalky soil tones, dried flowers, citrus peel and just a touch of natural wine mousiness. On the palate the wine is vibrant, focused and full-bodied, with lovely depth of fruit at the core, impressive soil signature, zesty acids and a long, well balanced and complex finish. This is a very well made bottle, with fine backend lift. 2025- 2035+."
