This Rioja Blanco Reserva has great intensity of fruit married beautifully with oak notes giving a wine with citrus fruit, hazelnut and pistachio with some sweet spice. It is very intense and concentrated with linear acidity and a long finish.
Vinification
Alcoholic fermentation starts in stainless steel tanks, giving us complete control of the temperature and other technical aspects. When the alcoholic fermentation has almost finished, the wine-must is racked into French oak barrels where alcoholic fermentation is completed
Maturation
It is aged for 10 months on its suspended fine lees, giving it a glycerine texture and sweetness. Lightly toasted barrels from different cooperages are used for this wine, giving greater complexity and elegance to the final blend.
Food Pairing
Smoked fish, salmon, tuna, white meats, poultry and creamy cheeses.
