Viura, Garnacha Blanca
75cl * Vegan * 13.5% ABV * Rioja, Spain
Rioja Blanca is amongst some of the most underrated wines in the world. Viura has characters of stone fruit, melon and hazelnut and always shows best when it has a blending partner. Here with Garnacha Blanca, which has characters of citrus fruit, pear and floral notes. Together they create a fantastic wine, round and refreshing, good acid and lovely fruit characters. The nutty character and the stone fruit mellow into a good finish.
Best served cold and paired with Spain's favourite fish, the Hake, in a saffron jus, on a bed of mustard mash.
