2021 Casa Rojo Tokyo Gomez-Rojo La Malpagada

The Tokyo Gomez-Rojo La Malpagada is a white wine from the Ribera del Duero region. Made from the Albillo grape, the authorized white grape variety for a white Ribera Duero wine, according to the appellation's regulations. White wines from the Ribera del Duero region are very rare but exceptionally beautiful. The Albillo Mayor grapes come from small, very old vineyards spread across the provinces of Soria and Burgos. The 2021 vintage was a top vintage in the Ribera del Duero region. The grapes were fermented in concrete tanks for over six months and then aged on the lees in new 225-liter French oak barrels. Fifteen percent of the total volume is fermented in barrels that come into contact with the skins, which explains the golden color.

The Tokyo Gomez-Rojo La Malpagada has an attractive golden color in the glass, thanks in part to its barrel aging and skin contact. This white Ribera del Duero has an aromatic and complex nose, with primary aromas of stone fruit, particularly peach, but also more complex, fermentative, and evolving aromas, such as bakery aromas, brioche, and sweet honey notes. On the palate, it is creamy with plenty of volume, yet with very polished tannins and acidity that gives it balance and invites continued enjoyment. The wine can age beautifully, developing a different, more complex character with a slight sherry note.

ABOUT CASA ROJO

"THE MOST IMPORTANT VIRTUE OF A WINE IS BALANCE" LAURA MUÑOZ-ROJO - At Casa Rojo, they make wines that José Luis and Laura identify with. They are fortunate and privileged to be able to produce in the regions where they have their roots and admire the two grapes they are passionate about: Tinta Fina (Tempranillo) in the continental climate of La Ribera del Duero and Monastrell in their Mediterranean homeland, Tierra de Murcia. Recently, they have also added unique white grapes from Ribera del Galicia, such as Verdejo, Albariño, and Sauvignon Blanc. Casa Rojo's vision is clear: "A wine should be a maximum expression of the soil, the grapes, and the local climate."

Casa Rojo has been operating since 2010, making it a relatively young company. However, its wines are now available in over 40 countries, including the USA, Singapore, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Mexico, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, Sweden, Switzerland, and more, and demand exceeds supply. This isn't surprising, as the quality of the wines, the stories behind them, and the presentation are truly unique.
