The 2024 Bodegas Exopto Rioja Exopto Blanco Field Blend is a beautifully vibrant and mineral-driven white Rioja crafted by Tom Puyaubert from old mixed plantings of traditional white varieties across high-altitude vineyards in Rioja Alta. Made with a minimal-intervention philosophy using concrete, large oak foudre and old barrels, the wine balances freshness, texture and savoury complexity with remarkable precision. The nose reveals grapefruit, white peach and lemon zest layered alongside fennel, white flowers and subtle wet stone minerality, giving the wine impressive lift and energy.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with bright natural acidity, soft textural depth and a clean mineral line. Layers of citrus and orchard fruit are balanced by saline freshness, subtle lees complexity and gentle phenolic grip, finishing long, chalky and beautifully refined with vibrant mountain freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
