This fleshy Rioja is based on older Vine Viura and splashed with other local white grapes. 3 months in French oak has further upped the creamy palate weight, and added additional heft and sandalwood spicing to the pear curd and peach fruit. You can taste the heat of the Spanish sun here. A sharp bitter note cuts the finish, finishing this wine a bit short.
