The Monopole Clásico Blanco 2019 is a distinct and venerable offering from Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España (C.V.N.E.), one of Rioja’s most storied and respected wineries. This wine stands as a homage to the traditional white wines of Rioja, capturing the essence of the region’s winemaking history while showcasing the depth and complexity that modern techniques and understanding can bring to classic styles.
Crafted primarily from the Viura grape, known for its versatility and capacity to express Rioja’s terroir, the Monopole Clásico Blanco also incorporates a small but significant addition of Manzanilla Sherry. This innovative blending creates a wine that is both rooted in tradition and distinctly contemporary. The Manzanilla Sherry, sourced from the renowned bodegas of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, imparts a unique saline and nutty character to the wine, bridging the gap between the old world and new, and adding layers of complexity and depth.
The 2019 vintage was marked by a combination of climatic conditions that favored the development of grapes with high concentration and balance, making it an excellent year for white wine production in Rioja. The Viura grapes were carefully harvested at their peak ripeness, ensuring the preservation of their aromatic intensity and freshness. The winemaking process was meticulously managed, with fermentation taking place at controlled temperatures to retain the grape’s natural characteristics, followed by a period of aging that enhances the wine’s texture and complexity.
Upon pouring, the Monopole Clásico Blanco 2019 reveals a pale golden hue, inviting the taster to discover its rich array of aromas. The nose is greeted with a complex bouquet that weaves together ripe stone fruits, such as peaches and apricots, with hints of almonds, fresh herbs, and the distinctive saline notes inherited from the Manzanilla Sherry. This aromatic complexity is a prelude to the exceptional experience that awaits on the palate.
Tasting the Monopole Clásico Blanco 2019 is a journey through layers of flavor and texture. The wine opens with a vibrant acidity that provides a backbone to its rich, full-bodied structure. The fruit flavors are more pronounced on the palate, complemented by the nutty and savory nuances that add a unique twist to the wine’s profile. The integration of the Manzanilla Sherry contributes to a slightly oxidative character, which, combined with the wine’s minerality and saline finish, makes for a refreshingly complex and long-lasting experience.
The versatility of the Monopole Clásico Blanco 2019 makes it an excellent companion to a wide range of culinary delights. Its rich texture and savory notes pair exceptionally well with seafood, from delicate fish dishes to richer, more flavorful preparations.
