CVNE Monopole Rioja Blanco 2015

Rioja, SpainThis one hundred percent viura from Rioja is grown in the Rioja Alta subzone, at higher altitude, and subject to the influence of the cold Atlantic Ocean. This is an elegant white with creamy, juicy mineral limey fruit flecked with ripe melons. The finish is smooth and chalky with more minerality. Made fresh, bottled fresh and under screw cap; one can only lament all those years it was sold under cork. Seafood anyone?Tasted: 12 January 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
