Tasting Notes

Pale bright straw-yellow in color, this white blend opens with white blossom, stone fruit, green apple, pear, lemon, subtle citrus, fennel, grass, and delicate oak spice. The palate is fresh and balanced, with lively acidity, smooth lees-driven texture, citrus and stone-fruit notes, subtle salinity, and a long persistent finish.

Food Paring

Pair this barrel-fermented Rioja Blanco with grilled white fish, shellfish, seafood rice dishes, oily fish, or smoked foods. Its lively acidity, subtle oak spice, and creamy lees texture also make it an elegant aperitif or a polished match for light snacks.

Professional Reviews

91 Robert Parker Wine Advocate

"The super young 2025 Blanco was cropped from a year with mildew and 15% to 20% lower yields, from vines in Rioja Alta and Alto Najerilla, mostly Viura with Garnacha Blanca and Malvasía Riojana—very little in 2025, because the variety suffered more from mildew. It fermented in large oak vats and 40% in barrel and was kept with lees for four months before being bottled. It has a very balsamic and raw nose, denoting its youth, with notes of bay leaf and a medicinal touch. It comes in at 13.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.33 and 5.7 grams of acidity. Despite its youth, it feels super balanced, clean and focused, serious and chalky."

Region Information

Rioja is one of Spain’s most renowned wine regions, internationally recognized for high‑quality red wines made primarily from Tempranillo. A combination of Atlantic and Mediterranean influences, along with diverse soils, allows Rioja to produce wines known for balance, elegance, and aging potential. Rioja wines range from fresh and fruit‑forward styles to complex, oak‑aged expressions that define classic Spanish winemaking.

Spain has the largest vineyard area in the world and a winemaking history that spans thousands of years. It is known for regions such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Priorat, which produce distinctive red wines. Spain is also famous for fortified wines like Sherry and sparkling Cava. Modern investments and techniques have elevated quality while preserving regional identity.
