Rioja Barrel Fermented Viura Blend

My customers would love this. A shame I didn't commit to them. I'll buy in anyway.

I typically enjoy white Rioja and this is no exception. Deep golden color, subtle but apparent oak usage - very tactful. Bruised orchard fruit, dry hay, ripe citrus, and a green celery type thing. Heavy and oxidative, without going overboard with either element. Went surprisingly well with seafood gumbo, which I had no idea what to pair with.

A little oak influence but tastefully done. Peachy, tropical nose. Clean acid. Short austere finish. Perfectly fine with a plate of tapas.

Citrus and green apple. Nice.

Great summer white!

Good acidity

All that is great about oak usage without overdoing it. Very clean with great acidity.

Very young green apple flavor tart

Surprisingly amazing, complex and balanced, fruity and mineral all together. A start of green apple and pear; citrus all the way with almonds, dry fruits and vanilla at the end and on the nose.

Excellent white Rioja enjoyed Easter Sunday
