Riparia del Abuelo 2018 11.8%, José Antonio Palacios Caparro

Appearance
Bright, clean pale gold with silvery gold highlights.
Nose
Very fresh and aromatic with top notes of Moscatel and the appley Palomino behind making it very grapey with traces of mandarin and kiwi adding to the wine´s fruity character which is emphasised by not using wood for maturation. There are faint, delicate notes of petals and fresh herbs too.
Palate
Light, fruity, dry and elegant. The balance of Moscatel and Palomino is perfect and the wine is very subtle with all the fruit notes already mentioned plus some of that Sanlúcar salinity and beautifully judged acidity. It is gently tangy and very tasty and has a slightly chalky texture.
Comments
This lovely and well-priced wine was made by José Antonio Palacios Caparro, once the oenologist at Pedro Romero and now at Bodegas Alonso in Sanlúcar. He makes one or two wines on his own account: Alucinante, Fernando Poo and this classic Vino Blanco de Sanlúcar named in honour of his grandfather who taught him about viticulture. This is the first release of Riparia and it is made the artisan way using Palomino (sourced from the pago Mahina) and Moscatel (from Chipiona) and is basically an extension of the very successful Alucinante in which by dropping the temperature the fermentation stops at 9.5% leaving the wine with some residual grape sugars, but with Riparia he lets the wine ferment out leaving it dry. It is not aged in wood.
Price
6.75 De Albariza

  2. Ich habe meine bereits programmierte und leere Geldkarte, mit der ich maximal 1000 € täglich für maximal 20 Tage abheben kann. Ich bin total begeistert, denn ich habe sie letzte Woche bekommen und schon 20.000 € abgehoben. Frau Aileen verteilt die Karte, um Armen und Bedürftigen zu helfen. Obwohl es illegal ist, ist es eine nette Geste, und sie ist nicht wie andere Betrüger, die vorgeben, Blanko-Bankkarten zu besitzen. Niemand wird bei der Benutzung der Karte erwischt. Fordern Sie Ihre Karte bei ihr an. Schreiben Sie ihr einfach eine E-Mail an: (aileenbeacker@gmail.com).


    I got my already programmed and blanked ATM card to withdraw the maximum of €1,000 daily for a maximum of 20 days. I am so happy about this because I got mine last week and I have used it to get €20,000. Mrs Aileen is giving out the card just to help the poor and needy though it is illegal but it is something nice and she is not like other scam pretending to have the blank ATM cards. And no one gets caught when using the card. get yours from her. Just send her an email via; ( aileenbeacker@gmail.com )
