Bimbache Blanco 2023
HK$ 397.36
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
I found a lot of energy and a complete wine in the 2022 Bimbache Blanco. It has an initially reductive nose but a very balanced and sapid palate with pungent flavors and a long aftertaste. It's incisive beyond the character of the year.

Description
Bimbache Blanco is a white wine that comes mainly from vineyards located in the north and northeast of the island of El Hierro. This wine is characterised by its diversity of varieties, which include Verijadiego Blanco (also known as Diego in El Hierro), Listán Blanco, Babosa Blanco, Gual and Pedro Ximénez, among others.
Elaboration
The grapes are harvested by hand and, after a gentle whole bunch pressing, the wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, it is aged in stainless steel, Stockinger foudres and some French oak barrels with the presence of velo flor.
Taste
Bimbache Blanco is a true representation of the island of El Hierro. It has a pale yellow colour, bright and clear, despite not having been subjected to clarification or filtration processes. Its aroma is initially intense and concentrated, with notes of citrus, such as salted lemon, lime and grapefruit peel, accompanied by a herbaceous nuance, evoking fennel and laurel. On the palate, despite its clear, almost cold acidity, it has a silky start. The wine, with an alcohol content of 13%, feels light and agile. As it is tasted, smoky and mineral notes can be identified, reflecting its volcanic origin.
