Description

Gómez Cruzado’s Montes Obarenes is a standout white Rioja from the foot of the Sierra Cantabria. Combining tradition and modern precision, this micro-cuvée brings together Viura, Tempranillo Blanco, Malvasía Riojana, Calagraño, and Garnacha Blanca—all fermented with native yeasts and matured 18 months in French oak. The 2021 vintage is among the most refined Rioja Blancos ever reviewed, offering golden aromatics, floral elegance, spice, and crystalline freshness.

Reviewer:Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate (Robert Parker)
Review:The stunning white 2021 Montes Obarenes has to be one of the most elegant whites from Rioja. It's very complete and does not lack ripeness (14.5% alcohol), freshness (3.45), complexity and nuance, elegance and persistence. It has a golden color, a captivating nose of herbs, flowers, spices and pollen, a seamless palate with vibrant and pristine flavors and great precision. It was produced with a blend of 60% Viura, 25% Tempranillo Blanco and 5% each Malvasía Riojana, Calagraño and Garnacha Blanca that fermented separately with indigenous yeasts and matured in French oak barrels for 18 months. 7,463 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2023.
