Hermanos de Pecina Senorio Rioja Blanco 2018
90 Points, Wine Advocate
This is a gem from one of Spain’s finest traditional winemakers. This site is higher elevated than the rest of the region, giving Hermanos Pecina a decisive advantage over their competition with more autonomy around when to pick their grapes. They made a beautiful Rioja Blanco in the 2018 vintage that Parker’s Wine Advocate called, “clean and harmonious, with aromas of white pear and flowers, quite elegant.” It’s a racy number with zesty lemon and citrus notes that cut through a nice, creamy mid-palate. Parker’s called the palate, “fresh” yet was amazed how, “the wine has weight and fills your mouth; 2018 is a cool vintage and it shows.” This is a perfect introduction to Rioja Blanco if you haven’t had one before.

90 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
The young white 2018 SeñorÃo de P. Peciña Cosecha Blanco is quite pale, young and fruit-driven, as it corresponds to an unoaked Viura fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and bottled quite early. It’s clean and harmonious, with aromas of white pear and flowers, quite elegant. The palate is fresh, but the wine has weight and fills your mouth; 2018 is a cool vintage and it shows. The flavors are focused and clean, and there is a pleasant bitter twist on the finish.
Hermanos Pecina is a one of the very best traditional winemakers in all of Rioja, revered for their commitment to classic methods and exceptional terroir. The winery meticulously farms its top-tier vineyards in the San Vicente zone, a prestigious area rich with limestone soils that lend a unique minerality and structure to the grapes.
Their key advantage lies in their north-facing vineyard sites, which provide a cooler, longer growing season. This orientation allows the fruit to ripen slowly and evenly, preserving a beautiful acidity and a freshness that is the hallmark of their elegant style. This careful vineyard management is the foundation of their natural winemaking philosophy, which seeks to express the purity of the fruit and the distinctiveness of the terroir.
