Hand harvested, Bimbache Blanco is sourced primarily from vineyards in the north and northeastern part of the island of La Hierro. Like the Tinto, these are from vineyards with a wide range of varieties which include Verijadiego Blanco (the name for Diego on El Hierro), Listán Blanco, Babosa Blanco, Gual, Pedro Ximénez. The main variety in the Blanco is Verijadiego/Diego with smaller percentages of everything else. Following a gentle whole-cluster pressing, the wine ferments by indigenous yeasts in tank then is aged in tank, Stockinger foudre, and a few French oak barrels which develop flor.
93 points, "The El Hierro white blend 2020 Bimbache Blanco was produced with a field blend of multiple grapes, Verijadiego Blanco, Listán Blanco, Forastera Blanca, Baboso Blanco, Gual, etc., from different locations and soils (all volcanic in origin) but mostly from the village of Sabinosa in the north of the island. It's a lot less ripe than the first year; this is 13.5% and keeps very good freshness and acidity. It's very clean, volcanic and somewhat reductive but sapid, with grip and juicy texture and a salty finish. It's a combination of stainless steel (80%) and barrique wines. The vines are close to the sea and have a lot of marine influence, in saltiness and freshness. They managed to get the poise in this very warm and challenging year, and the wine shows the character of the year here, surprisingly balanced, fresh and restrained. 4,000 bottles were produced." - Wine Advocate
