NC- 2021 Pinea Korde Blanc

Beneath the expansive foliage of the majestic Pinea tree, nestled within the renowned winemaking realm of Ribera del Duero in Spain, a transformative dialogue unfolded between Pinea’s creators and lifelong companions. This profound exchange sparked an illuminating realization: their purpose was to harness the remarkable attributes of this territory and craft nothing short of an exceptional global wine masterpiece.

At nature’s perfect time, Pinea’s grapes are delicately selected and hand cut, placed into small baskets to prevent even the slightest disturbance and de-stemmed by hand. Their non-interventionist vinification allows the fruit to be the star and truly speak as a testament to simple truths, elemental pedigree and sheer elegance.

“KORDE Blanc is an unctuous wine produced with Albillo Mayor grapes. The 2021 release is Pinea’s debut vintage and very first white wine. Although grapes of the Tempranillo varietal are the primary grapes grown in Pinea’s estate, our most mature vineyards grow other grape varietals, such as Bobal and Albillo. The very small quantity of white grapes are selected and harvested before the Tempranillo used for our red wines. After careful vinification, the wine ages in French oak barrels. The result is a unique white wine with tremendous structure and viscose texture, abundant aromas of flowers and fruits, and complex flavors with a creamy, persistent finish.”
