Rating: Robert Parker 91/100
“The 2012 Exopto Horizonte white is made from white grape varieties grown in old vineyards. It is a blend of Viura, Garnacha Blanca, and Malvasia Riojana vinified together. Although young, it possesses the intensity of old vines and the complexity of a diverse blend. Notes of fennel, white flowers, yellow peach, and a hint of salt make this a very appealing wine. I really like this white, and I think it will age well in the bottle. Drink now through 2018.” (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

About the wine:

The 2012 Exopto Horizonte white is made from white grape varieties grown in old vineyards. It is a blend of Viura, Garnacha Blanca, and Malvasia Riojana, vinified together. Although young, it possesses the intensity of old vines and the complexity of a diverse blend. Notes of fennel, white flowers, yellow peach, and a hint of salt make this a very appealing wine. I really like this white, and I think it will age well in the bottle. Drink now through 2018.

Review by M. FINANCES SPRL V. Published on January 23, 2015

It’s a Spanish wine, yet it has a richness reminiscent of certain Burgundies, with a touch of exoticism. A truly wonderful discovery—original and surprising. Worth tasting and exploring.
