This is one of those few (and I do mean few) wines where it tastes better with #coravin than #uncorked With Coravin it has a lovely bouquet full of white flowers, citrus and hints of oak. Uncorked it just gets all acidic and looses the delicate complexity. Still, that being said...it is one of the better white #Rioja that I have tried and I’ve tried plenty. Reasonably priced. #macabeo #macabeu #viura #garnachablanca #grenacheblanc #malvasia

Creamy but with plenty of acid to balance. Nectarines, lime zest, and hazelnut?

White burgundy? Mineral, ripe citrus, melon. This is the real deal. Not what I've expected from white Rioja, but this is seriously good
