LA BICICLETA VLADORA RIOJA 2022

"The Flying Bicycle" is Germán Blanco's new project in Rioja Baja. With the help of an old friend and fellow oenologist, Javier Collio, Germán sources fruit from certified organic vineyards in the Navarra part of the appellation. The vineyards are dry-farmed and have an average age of thirty-five years old, grown in a mix of clay and limestone. The wine is made in a cellar in San Adrian, following the Milú philosophy: "happy wines made from happy  grapes" is how he defines it. The grapes are de-stemmed and fermented in cold 
temperature from native yeasts. A slight maceration before the end of fermentation helps  to make a delicate and fresh wine; no oak is used, and the wine stays in concrete tanks from five to six months.
