Grassy, acidic, with a hint of butter. Significant heft for a rioja blanca, almost reminiscent of a chardonnay. A pleasant surprise, I almost feel bad for drinking it from a tumbler.

Feb 23rd, 2015Delightfully fruit forward with pear and citrus, finishing with a minerality that really balances the sweetness. I loved this versatile white, perfect for drinking on its own or with soup or Asian food.
