Crazy one off. I’m still looking for more.
This time, took to friends for lunch with a mushroom frittata. Just PnP. Oh my. Waxy, as many old Viura’s can be, but with a very interesting mid palate ( all the while I’m trying to convey this to my luncheon friends,,who don’t care). This presence there tells you to slow down and roll it around. I can’t recall exactly fruit or other impressions this time. But…without doubt, it was perfect, unctuous, waxy, with enough acidity to balance. You might think you’re drinking something old fashioned and old. @cellartracker has been hard on this wine…beats me.
Look at my previous notes.

Happy is the perfect definition for this light, fruity, friendly caldo … But do not confuse “being nice & fun” for “superficial”… Here, there is some serious depth and carácter to please even the most demanding expectations… — 3 years ago

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.
