Description

Soft yellow fruit aromas of peach and ripe pear, with vanilla and a gentle creaminess from the oak. The palate is full-bodied and textured, yet it keeps a lovely freshness and balance throughout. A generous, rounded white from one of Rioja's most thoughtful producers.

A blend of Viura and Garnacha Blanca from Valenciso, the Ollauri bodega of Luis Valentín and Carmen Enciso. Aged for 12 months in Russian oak, which adds texture and subtle spice without dominating the fruit. Made in limited quantities.

Lovely with roast chicken, pork loin or grilled hake.

Rioja

Rioja, located in northern Spain, is one of the country’s most prestigious and renowned wine regions. The region benefits from a diverse climate with influences from both the Mediterranean and Atlantic, contributing to its varied wine styles.
Famous for its reds, primarily made from Tempranillo, which produce wines known for their depth, rich fruit flavours, and well-integrated oak characteristics, the region also produces notable blends incorporating Garnacha and Graciano. Rioja’s whites, including those from Viura and Malvasía, are celebrated for their freshness, aromatic complexity, and balanced acidity. Historically, Rioja has a winemaking tradition dating back to Roman times. The region gained prominence in the 19th century with the influence of French winemaking techniques, and today it is recognised for its commitment to both traditional and modern practices. Rioja's classification system, including Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva, reflects its dedication to quality and aging potential, making it a benchmark for Spanish wine.
