KORDE Blanc 23/24
Albillo Mayor. DO Ribera del Duero
A true oenological artwork… KORDE Blanc is an enigmatic wine that, through the careful blending of two vintages, it displays a unique complexity.
- Crafted from Albillo Mayor and other native white varieties (Malvasía Castellana, Viura, Pirulés…) that coexist in the old vines from which it originates, this wine stands out for its enveloping profile, with subtle aromas of flowers and stone fruit, and a creamy texture that glides across the palate.
- The first vintage (2023) is aged for twelve months before being blended with the following (2024), which
ferments in barrel and remains on its fine lees for a further six months.
Tasting notes
Aging: 2 winters Cellaring potential: 15 years
This white opens with a bright straw-yellow hue, a reflection of its freshness and purity.
On the nose, it reveals restrained elegance, with notes of white flowers and ripe citrus, wrapped in
a delicate saline nuance that adds depth. The 2023 vintage, aged longer, provides the wine with its backbone—structure and seriousness—while the 2024 brings tension, energy, and vibrant freshness.
On the palate, it is precise and enveloping. The taut acidity balances its creamy texture, leaving a
sensation that is both agile and persistent. A white wine of character and finesse, it evolves
beautifully in the glass, leaving a long, clean, and subtly mineral finish.

KORDE Blanc, a real enigma

“Anyone who has the privilege of opening a bottle of KORDE Blanc is in for a true puzzle. This complex wine seems to speak to you from different places, perhaps the converging energies of the two vintages that have been blended together to create it…. Anyone who has the pleasure of drinking it can enjoy it with any of the delicacies our country offers us. It is sufficiently rugged to accompany roast lamb or suckling pig. But it is also so elegant that it will entirely respect the finesse of a sole meunière”
