Jade Gross Chiguita 2023

Chiguita by Jade Gross, a white wine from the vintage 2023 made by multifaceted Jade with the help of the famous Riojan winemaker Abel Mendoza, in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, a township adhered to the Rioja Denominacion de Origen Calificada.

The wine is made of a blend of 3 white grape varieties that are typical in Rioja: Viura (also known as Macabeo in other areas in Spain), Tempranillo Blanco (which is a white mutation of the famous red grape Tempranillo) and Garnacha Blanca (or Grenache Blanc - yet another mutation of the original Spanish red Garnacha).

Tempranillo Blanco and Garnacha Blanca are planted on a clay-ferrous soil and come from the Alto de Najerilla valley. Viura is planted on calcarous clay soil and comes from Labastida and San Vicente de la Sonsierra towns' areas.

The grapes were hand harvested on September 12-14, 2023. The juice after direct whole bunch press fermented in French oak barrels and the resulting wine was aged for further 6 months in the barrels on its fine lees.

An exclusive white wine from Rioja as there are only 3900 individually numbered bottles.
