TASTING NOTES

Great depth on the nose, with pronounced pear and citrus notes with creamy and toast notes. Autolytic notes from lees contact elegant and fresh on the palate good acidity that allows ageing potential.

STORYTELLING

Viura comes from vines of more than 60 years of age situated at more than 600m altitude in the Rioja Alta. The Tempranillo Blanco is grown on more clay-based soils and the Sauvignon Blanc comes from parcels on cool, chalky soils located in the most eastern area of the D.O. at more than 700m altitude.

WINE & FOOD PAIRING​​

A very versatile wine in terms of food pairing due to its extraordinary complexity, from smoked fish and foie gras to meats, mature cheeses or Iberian charcuterie. We strongly recommend aeration on the glass to showcase its full aromatic potential.

SALES TIPS
