Bodegas Hermanos de Pecina, Rioja Blanco, 2021

This is 100% Viura from the Rioja Alavesa village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, known for its high elevation and clay-limestone soils. It is fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel, to preserve freshness and capture every last bit of minerality. It ages 1 year in bottle before release, in keeping with Bodegas Hermanos de Peciña's commitment to traditional methods and long aging techniques.

Citrus fruit, stone fruit (pear, apple), sweet herbs like fennel and bay all play very well with the crisp finish, high acidity and ample minerality.
