Luberri Zuri Blanco 2020
Rioja Alavesa, Rioja, SpainFlorentino Martinez Monje started off life as a grape supplier before deciding to set up his own winery in Rioja Alavesa. Few know as much about the region as he does, nor how to get the best out of the local vineyards. With an intimate understanding of the 32 hectares he farms, he remains a farmer first and foremost. This is a blend of Viura and Malvasia, from 30 to 50 year old vineyards located in Elciego and adjacent villages, fermented and rested in stainless where it remained for two months with daily bâtonnage. Savoury and stony, with red apple, subtle white peach, crushed stones along a fuller, lightly waxen palate, finishing with a bitter quince twist and lingering salinity. A suitable partner for roast chicken or halibut.Tasted: 10 November 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $18.95 | 750ml | consignment |
