The Rueda wine is golden-green, smells fresh with a nice savory/vegetal side to the fruit, tastes of citrus and pear and has great acidity to make it a perfect match for a ceviche-type dish. At 12.5% abv, it’s easy to drink and it is 100% Viura, a grape that gets a bad rap for being a little less than interesting. It’s usually teamed with Verdejo, but it stands alone here. The concrete tank fermentation gives a nice, full mouthfeel. It was the only Spanish white on the list at Moruno on L.A., and it holds up its end well. $8 by the glass.

Subtle floral and nutty aromas, very crisp and clean on the palate with some mild citrus acid.
