Good wine to be had hear. Honeysuckle, papaya, peach, apricot & faint leesy note. Medium acidity with a glycerol laden finish. Tasty.

White Rioja, but fresh and clean. Stunning. What a revelation.

Pure and delicious. Riviere shows a delicate touch in this wine. Viura is the base, white garnacha for texture, and a touch of Malvasia for the floral/fruit component.

Best white Rioja out there at moment? Probably not, but considering its price tag, my vote 's on this one.

A lovely Rioja blanco, mostly Viura with a touch of Malvasia and Garnacha Blanca. Raised in 25% new French oak 300L/600L barrels over the winter. Very fresh acidity and bright fruit. Perfect with fried pork cheek and pulpo carpaccio.

A little funky, some white flowers, rich with a nice acid backbone.

Ripe lime, greengage, fresh alpine mineral ish. In the mouth this is pretty thick with some attractive levels of glycerol that's followed through with a thick cut of candied lime and refreshing acidity.
