C.V.N.E. (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España)
Monopole Blanco Seco Viura
La Rioja, Spain
A very dry nose for one of the wines brought over from my time in Malaga. The nose interspersed with notes of cumquat, yellow apricot, sea air, muscat and wet stones. Light to medium bodied and VERY dry, with lots of minerality, super tart acidity like key lime, Buddha’s hand or zine other obscure yellow citrus. The palate is super dry, lots of zest, and a good representation of place, but not as much depth as I would have liked.
