VILLOTA | WHITE 2021 75cl

Villota Blanco 2021 – Elegance of White Rioja

Product Description

Villota Blanco 2021 is a delicate ode to Viura, the quintessential white Rioja grape, accompanied by Garnacha Blanca, Malvasía, and Tempranillo Blanco. From a complex and generous vintage, this barrel-fermented white reflects the essence of a vineyard with a soul, nestled beside the Ebro River. Its aging in French oak and on its lees gives it a vibrant freshness and an enveloping texture, with floral and citrus notes dancing over a mineral and elegant background.
