Abando Blanco Rioja Viura
La Rioja, Spain
5 months in new American oak and on its lees, giving the wine a light nutty creaminess.

I LOVE this bottle of wine- rich fresh papaya fruit, notes of Meyer lemon, lime zest and amazing acidity. Finish goes on for days! lol I can't get enough.

The nose has some nice honeyed notes. Medium+ bodied with citrus and caramel/nutty characteristics from the sur-lie aging in French oak. Has some minerality to it as well. Definitely enjoyed it, although I think I was self-indulgently hoping for a bit more richness.

Absolutely loved this find! A white Rioja?!? It blew my mind! I had no idea they existed. Rich, full, caramel, hint of tobacco.....satisfies like a nice red...yet it's a white!
