Sierra de Toloño, Blanco, Rioja Alavesa, Spain 2023

Perfumed nose with elegant, clearly etched notes of melon, Asian pear, camomile and apple blossom. The palate surprises for its focus and textural appeal, built around delicious salinity, lively acid and a robust mineral backbone. Finishes with a tail of fennel, white grapefruit zest and pear peel. A really interesting and pure take on Viura, from Rioja Alavesa.
