The 2020 Familia Nin-Ortiz Planetes de Nin Blanco is a proprietary blend white wine from Spain, specifically the Catalunya region. This wine, produced by Familia Nin-Ortiz, is presented in a traditional cork-sealed bottle and boasts an alcohol content of 13.0%.

The wine is made entirely from Carignan White, also known regionally as Cariñena Blanca or Carinyena Blanc. It's worth noting that this grape variety is still not officially recognized by the local appellation, which adds an element of intrigue and exclusivity to this bottle.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate has awarded this wine an impressive score of 95, praising its complexity and unique characteristics. Reviewer LG describes the wine as having “notes of quince, fennel, green apple, pollen, dry yellow flowers and chamomile,” which contribute to its multifaceted profile. The tasting experience is further enhanced by its “super tasty palate” and an “almost salty finish,” which provides a distinctive twist.

The wine's vibrant acidity and freshness are highlighted, with a pH level of 3.2, indicating a bright and lively mouthfeel. Despite the low alcohol content, which was a challenge to achieve according to the reviewer, the wine stands out for its balance and depth. LG from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate even suggests that this variety “should be one of the weapons against climate change,” underscoring its potential resilience and adaptability in the face of evolving environmental conditions.

A limited production run of only 2,820 bottles makes the 2020 Familia Nin-Ortiz Planetes de Nin Blanco a rare find for enthusiasts and collectors alike. In summary, this wine offers a unique blend of complex flavors, vibrant freshness, and a hint of rarity, making it a noteworthy addition to any wine collection.
