8 Vírgenes Serranas 2014 Blanco

La Zorra, Sierra de Salamanca

Whites are rarity in Sierra de Salamanca and very few producers take the trouble to find the grapes to make the wines. 8 Vírgenes Serranas is a blend of Palomino, Rufete Blanco (Verdejo Serrano) and Muscat fermented and matured in barrels. I found rich white fruit and buttery notes in a creamy and somewhat mature palate. Well-made but perhaps it lacks liveliness. 87 points
