Rioja Blanco Viura Garnacha Blanca 2024

Coconut, Banana, White flowers on the nose. (With air, lots of herbs),A faint touch of the mineral quality that follows through on the finish of the palate. Said palate is less floral and more linear, mineral, especially after some airing in the glass. The bitterness that feels mineral is a nice contrast to perceived fruit, as it adds an interesting aftertaste. Viura, Grenache Blanc, and Tempranillo Blanco. Interesting blend.
I’ve had Tempranillo Blanco as a standalone, but only as of ‘25,in San Sebastián where in one Pintxo bar, it worked quite well with parts of their menu.
This winery is a wife & husband team who, from what I gather, hope to bring some “traditional” Riojan winemaking style to modern production.
I’m looking forward to trying their offerings beyond entry level.
Thanks @Rare Wine Co.

Mezcla Blanca White Blend 2019

Reisling 64% Chardonnay 20% Torontel 16%
The nose has the citrus and petrol of Riesling, the yellow apples of chardonnay. A weighty mouthfeel of creamy yellow apples with soft but present citrusy acid. A perfect winter white! ❄️
