Finca Nueva
Fermentado en Barrica Rioja White Blend
Decent & solid, in a rather uninspiring way. The wood (?) adds some creaminess, which is my seducer.

Aug 4th, 201475% Viura, 25% malvasia. 1/3 barrel fermented and aged 3 months in French oak. Crisp and quite lean, with a mineral backbone and touch of vanilla on the finish. I was expecting more flesh considering their successfully modern tintos. A bit overpriced.
