Don Jacobo – Tempranillo Blanco 2021 🇪🇸

A Rare White Rioja That Breaks the Rules (and Pairs Like a Pro)

Tempranillo… but make it blanco.
The 2021 Don Jacobo Blanco is Rioja like you’ve never tasted before — a 100% Tempranillo Blanco, the rare white-skinned mutation of Spain’s iconic red grape. Fermented in stainless steel for maximum freshness, this bottle brings stone fruit swagger, floral lift, and clean minerality straight from the spiritual heart of La Rioja.

🏅 90 Points – Wine Spectator

“A vibrant and mineral-driven white Rioja with freshness, fruit, and a clean finish.”

🍐 Tasting Notes

• Color: Mid-gold with green flashes — subtle, sleek, and sunlit.

• Nose: Juicy pear, ripe peach, and banana peel, lifted by white flowers and a hint of thyme.

• Palate: Medium-bodied and juicy. Stone fruit, crisp acidity, and just the right hit of flinty minerality.

• Finish: Long, fresh, and citrus-zipped — a clean exit with plenty of character.

✨ The Grape: Tempranillo, But Not As You Know It

Tempranillo Blanco was only discovered in 1988, a genetic twist of Rioja’s red superstar.
Bodegas Corral — founded in 1898 and perched on the legendary Camino de Santiago — was one of the first to embrace it, crafting a white wine that’s as unique as it is refreshing.

The Don Jacobo Blanco 2021 is a nod to both innovation and heritage, made for modern palates but born from centuries of winemaking tradition.
