Jun 4th, 2023Very clean, pure & bright with green apple, lemon peel, some waxy aromas and a cool chalky undertone.
On the palate this shows a nice creamy mouthfeel paired with zingy, citrusy acidity and a hint of tannins. Apples & lemons galore with a long mineral finish.
This is how Viura should be!

Rioja Blanco, not the Rose
K&L notes,
White Artadi? I am shocked that I didn't know that it existed, but I am so glad to know that it exists. This is everything that you would expect that it would be. This old vine Viura from Alavesa. It has the transparency that you expect for the winery, the palate is so expresive of the chalky soils of the region. This is not a traditional oaky oxidized white. This is a pure modern expresion of the varietal. Apples, citrus, drying floral notes and a dusty chalkiness. It is very fresh and the wine has the energy and drive that you come to expect from the reds.

Its the White wine which I can’t find on Delectable, but its worth searching out at $22.00, just bought 6 more after tasting

Give it some air & watch it blossom
