Gran Cerdo Blanco

Description

A silky white blend from Rioja. A versatile white with lots of soft orchard fruit on the palate, like white apples and pears, with lovely texture and a dry, refreshing finish.

Dedicating the Gran Cerdo label (which translates to Big Pig in Spanish) to the bank executives who wouldn’t give him a loan to start his wine business, Gonzalo Grijalba has developed a bit of a cult following. He’s hugely passionate about reclaiming the biodiversity of the earth he farms and has eschewed more commercial practices involving pesticides and herbicides for more biodynamic methods.
