Korde Blanc 20/21
Albillo Mayor. DO Ribera del Duero
KORDE Blanc 20/21 is the inaugural vintage of PINEA’s first white wine.
- The very limited amount of white grapes that grow on our Estate means that the production of KORDE Blanco is very limited and the result of a blend of two consecutive vintages.
Tasting notes
Ageing: 2 winters Keep: 30 years
Very faint yellow colour with bright highlights.
Medium intensity with aromas of baked apple, notes of caramel with ripe fruit and hints of minerality in the background. The ageing appears with faint spicy aromas, dried fruits, a touch of citrus and floral aromas.
Great minerality, structure and balance of complex aromas. Its delicate unctuous texture, together with a vibrant and appetising acidity, accentuates the wine’s intensity. Flavours of fleshy apricot, peach cobbler and dried mango are complemented by notes of Himalayan salt and caramel. The long, harmonious finish lingers with notes of ginger zest, honey, caramel, butter and hazelnut.

“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”
