Jos\u00e9 Pe\u00f1\u00edn highly values the challenge and success it means making a white wine such as Finca La Terrenal\u00a0 in an extreme Mediterranean climate:<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks to garnacha blanca I discovered the high values of Southern white wines mostly the more \u201cMediterranean\u201d\u00a0 ones from D.O. Terra Alta. They do stand out because of their volume, a certain sweetness due to alcohol which is nicely-balanced with acidity, and a remembrance of Mediterranean forest with dry stone and garrigue aromas. More amazing is the touch of hydrocarbon, as German Rieslings show, that keeps growing as garnacha blanca\u00a0 wines age, such a rare nuance.<\/p>\n
All these feelings I had with Edet\u00e0ria La Terrenal, whose 2016 vintage has been stoked with \u201c96 points\u201d by Gu\u00eda Pe\u00f1\u00edn cautious tasting team shortlisting the wine on top of dry Mediterranean wines at Gu\u00eda Pe\u00f1\u00edn 2021. By Mediterranean wines\u00a0 I am talking about grape varietals such as xarello, merseguera, moscatel and, of course, garnacha blanca. And this is not just their opinion which I totally share, Jancis Robinson so renowned and so judicious rated La Terrenal 18\/20 points which equates to 95 points.<\/p>\n
My tip is offering La Terrenal to every winelover who falls for Rhone whites. I am sure that La Terrenal \u2013\u201cthe earthy one\u201d-, although not being the Paradise,\u00a0 it will certainly be a \u201cheavenly\u201d surprise to him.\u201d<\/p>\n
