By Quinta Milu
La Bicicleta Voladora is German Blanco's (Casa Aurora and Quinta Milu) project in Rioja Oriental, from grapes grown in Navarra. He rents the vineyard and makes the wines at the winery from a longtime friend and vigneron from the area. The grapes are organically certified, and the wines are uncomplicated, made to be drunk young. Tempranillo Blanco is a mutation of Tempranillo, a thick-skinned white grape. It was found and replanted in a vineyard which is now around 35 year old vines on a mix of clay and limestone soils. Grapes are destemmed and pressed softly in concrete where the wine ferments.
