Burgo Viejo Blanco 2019 [White]
Producer: Burgo Viejo
Region: DOC Rioja

A blend of viura (macabeo) & tempranillo blanco, made from organically grown grapes. When we think of Rioja, we think red, but think again.

A pleasing golden straw color and a fresh, fruit driven nose: citrus, apple & pear with background notes of dried flowers and freshly cut hay. Crisp and bright in the mouth with lemony freshness, apples and a hint of fennel. Lingers pleasantly on the palate.
Very good & food friendly.

Rioja has seen growing interest in white wines. Still a minority, but the addition of new varieties like tempranillo blanco, chardonnay, verdejo and others have given Rioja whites new life.
