Mission Codename Mejor
Today’s Bodegas Hispano Suizas 2012 Impromptu Sauvignon Blanc took our breath away. That deep golden hue, rich flavor, and fresh acidity - who crafted this magic elixir?!
The winery that produced this fantastic wine, which just happened to be rated as the Best in Spain by The Peñin Guide (the Spanish Michelin Guide), is a small passion project started by three friends. Marrying the best fruit from the Utiel-Requena region of Spain with the most modern of winemaking techniques, they’ve crafted a Sauv Blanc unlike anything we’ve ever seen.
Stephen Tanzer, Robert Parker, and now The Wine Spies have been thoroughly impressed by today’s wine. Are you next?
