Navajas, Crianza Blanco, Rioja, Spain 2021

Good flavour definition and structure in this oak-led, Viura-dominant (with a splash of Chardonnay) wine. Toasted almonds, vanilla, toasted white bread and dried mountain herbs cloak the fleshy white orchard fruit, melon and ripe citrus. Smoky on the finish with refreshing zestiness and a drying tannic grip.
