Description

Rioja, Spain

A special oak-aged white Rioja with a very limited production. Fruity aromas merge with the wonderful bouquet of new French oak.

100% Viura grapes from 50 year old vines – Vallemayor’s Cerradilla estate planted in the 1970s – are carefully selected and put aside for making this wine. The relatively low yield is picked at full ripeness they undergo a double fermentation in five new French Alliers oak barrels with a 6 month stabilisation period on the lees.

Tasting Notes: full, rich yet dry, wine with extraordinary nuances. Aromas of vanilla, sweet spice, ripe pears and toasty notes from the wood. The palate is complex with notes of lanolin and a full finish of candied fruit.

Food pairing suggestions: Ideal with poultry, oily fish, crab or caviar
