What a great surprise on this 4 year old white wine from Rioja. Shows a great nose with nice complexity. Easy drinking and fruit forward.
Dry on the palate with medium plus acidity.
Showing citrus, limes, wild flowers, earth, vegetables, tropical fruits, pineapples and spices.
Good right out of the bottle, and gets earthier as it opens up. Good by itself or with food. I paired it with Brie cheese by the lake.
100% Viura.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
$11.

This Rioja Blanco is 100% Viura. Light nose of baked quince and dried yellow flowers. Medium light bodied palate yields same with a hint of grapefruit zest. Medium acidity rounds it all out. A great white for complex and mildly spicy dishes. Paella would be a particular friend.

Crisp, citrus, and refreshing. Easily pairs with food and affordable.

Total Wine purchase, this is probably one of the few wines i have purchased in a long time that was almost un- drinkable, poured most of the bottle out!

Aroma of pineapple. Then taste is smooth, a little acidic, like under ripe pineapple. Maybe I’m not in the right mood to appreciate it. I’m sitting outside. The day has been too long. There’s too much noise on the street. The finish is just too tart for my taste. It’s keeping me from being able to relax. Maybe I’ll just smell it...
