100% Viura, stainless aging, pale lemon color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits with floral scents. On the palate flavors of apple and dried apricot with honeysuckle and slight spice. Well balanced with acidity, medium+ finish, nice mouthfeel ending with fruit and floral mineral notes.

Some wines are ageless in my memory palate, like this one: balanced, clean notes of lemon compote, fennel, & light green veggies like raw squash. Viura grape. For less than 11$ one of the great QPRs. The relatively new offering based on this with the old school blend with sherry is a profoundly different wine, catapulting it into Lopez territory.

A bit too much residual sugar but overall pretty good for the price point. Paired nicely with mushroom barley risotto.

100% Viura white Rioja. Bright light yellow color. Aromas of orchard fruit, white flowers and citrus. Flavors of green apple and pear fruit, lemon zest, pineapple and a hint of banana peel. Touch of both salinity and minerality on the medium (and slightly creamy) finish. Low acidity and a bit flabby. Medium bodied. Fresh and clean with a smooth texture. May improve with some additional bottle age.

Pale green / golden dry and sliced slightly acidic. Citrus and green pear notes, herbaceous. Great pairing with steamed Shrimp.
