Description

Straw yellow with green tints. The nose shows citrus, stone fruit and melon with jasmine, fennel and fresh herbs. On the palate it has good volume but stays fresh and light, with lively acidity, apricot, melon, grapefruit and a touch of honey. Tasty, balanced and very easy to enjoy.

From Bodegas Urbina, a family-owned single estate in Cuzcurrita de Río Tirón on the north-western edge of Rioja. The family has been making wine here since 1870, across four generations and 75 hectares of vineyard.

Try it with grilled fish, seafood paella or a simple tomato salad.

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.
