Viura/Garnacha Blanca/Malvaia de Rioja

Region: Spain, Rioja

Grape variety: Viura & Malvasia

Tasting notes: Easily one of the best White Rioja's, with four months aging in French Oak. Flavours of lemon cake, peach and vanilla.

This wine has a lovely straw-yellow colour. It is intense and complex on the nose with floral aromas (white blossom, jasmine), stone (peaches) and citrus (grapefruit, lemon) fruit, pears, apples and banana. Very fine and elegant. On the palate the attack is very smooth and balanced. You can sense the freshness and minerality in the mouth, with very well-integrated acidity, giving the wine length and a very long finish with reminders of vanilla and citrus fruit.
