Viña Pomal, Fermentado en Barrica Blanco, Rioja, Spain 2023

A touch of Malvasía adds lovely florality to this Viura-based wine, lifting the fleshy stone fruit. Oak influence is upfront but well measured, contributing luscious marzipan, lemon curd and toasted almond flavours. Nuances of wild fennel, rosemary and tarragon, along with a seam of salinity, adds savoury appeal.
