@Tree Kilpatrick said it well. Strange and interesting. I think it’s regular tempranilllo minus skins btw.

Never heard of Tempranillo Blanco. Is that a grape? Golden, straw colored. Smells like Albariño or a French Rhone type white. Honey, sweet baked goods, sage, carrot seeds and oak. Flavors are strange and unfamiliar. Crisp, zesty, with a streak of tart green apple. Some honey, but not sweet at all. Just a hint of that CA chard stuff with the oak flavors. But it’s not really like any white I can place. Most resembles Rhone white blends. It’s a fun wine to try, and it’s nice. Complex and just a bit funky.

A mutation of red tempranillo. Pear and melon, with vanilla and buttery notes with good acidity to avoid fatigue.

Lot of fun. Orange blossoms, ripe pears, little salty. Medium/full bodied, first experience with Tempranillo Blanco.. like a lean viognier, nothing oily, maybe honey/wax...

16.5/20 (90/100) Аромат с нотами яблочного конфитюра, лимонов и жареного хлеба. Приятное.

Smells like a wooded chardonnay, butter and oak. Rolls over the tongue. Much crisper than a chardonnay. Pleasant vanilla after taste.
