{"product_id":"juan-carlos-sancha-cerro-la-isa-blanco-espagne","title":"Juan Carlos Sancha - Cerro La Isa blanco - 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003e Nestled on the hillsides of Rioja Oriental, the Cerro La Isa vineyard overlooks the Najerilla River valley, near the village of Baños de Río Tobía in the province of La Rioja, northern Spain. Planted at altitude on poor soils of clay, gravel, and limestone outcrops, the old vines benefit from a continental climate tempered by Atlantic influence. This cool, breezy location allows for slow and complete ripening of the grapes, while preserving naturally high acidity and a pronounced mineral expression of the terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMade from old, slow-ripening vines, this white wine is hand-harvested in small crates to preserve the integrity of the grapes. After gentle pressing, the must is clarified and then fermented at a controlled temperature to retain the aromatic purity and minerality of the terroir. The wine is then aged on its fine lees in carefully selected neutral containers to avoid imparting any color to the wine, with moderate stirring to add volume and complexity while respecting the natural freshness of the grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe citrus\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003estone fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003egreen apple\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by touches of \u003cstrong\u003ewhite flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e , hints of \u003cstrong\u003esweet spice\u003c\/strong\u003e , and a light \u003cstrong\u003esmoky, toasty\u003c\/strong\u003e character from aging.
