Bodegas Riojanas, Monte Real Tempranillo Blanco Colección Larrendant, Rioja, Spain 2020

Expressive smokiness and sweet spice cloak the intense pineapple, quince and pear fruit. Toasted almonds, vanilla and white pepper sprinkled over luscious frangipane and buttered brioche. Intense and weighty while also assertive and refreshing. Best enjoyed with food - try with roast chicken or medium-cured cheeses.
