Bodegas Urbina Viura Crianza Rioja 2014

Description

Bodega Urbina has a history that spans 150 years, with winemaking taking place as early as 1870 across, four generations. Urbina, a family-owned single estate winery, has 75 hectares of vineyards, 65 Tempranillo, and 10 Graziano, Mazuelo and Viura.


Intense nose dominated by stone fruit, melon and ripe citrus with hints of jasmine, fennel with peach in the background. Nuances of aniseed and fennel, around some subtle notes of white fruit and citrus inflections. On the palate that wine has good volume and density, while still being fresh and light, with refreshing acidity. Hints of apricot, melon and grapefruit complete the picture. Some butterscotch, dried fruit, honey and spice emerge, demonstrating the wine's affinity with oak.

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.
