Viña Gravonia Crianza Rioja Viura


Hay, mushrooms, carmelized lemon. Oxidized and nutty, with such an impressive finish, like a buttered biscuit. Goes on forever. Slightly thin midpalate, only in comparison to the finish. Otherwise beautiful. With time, a floral aroma joins in, with citrus blossom and dried apricot.

Gorgeous, rich, distinguished / BIG OXIDATION / honeyed, nutty, with a punctuated brininess on the finish. STUNNER, especially at this value 🥇

Not stored properly and on the edge of turning. Too bad as I was looking forward to this one

Intensely honeyed with some in my group noting petrol, extremely interesting and concentrated. Enjoyed with a crystallized cheddar, Spanish goat’s milk cheese, and a couple of others. Highly enjoyable. Might even stand up to some desserts.

Big, nutty and oaky on the nose. More terroire on the palate with a clean finish. Very complex and fun

Jul 21st, 2019One of the most complex whites I’ve ever had. A subtle honey mixed with butterscotch, with a crisp smack to it....it’s amazing. Will get again.
