This is a nice, relatively simple summer quaffer. Abit of oak, abit of peach, abit of nectarine and abit of petrol(reminiscent of Alsatian reisling) and all with a very good qpr.

Aromatic white florals and white peaches with nectarines. Slightly off dry. Very lively with haut the right zip of white stonefruits. V versatile wine.

Green tinged straw, clear but not bright. Pear and slate on the nose, and on the creamier than expected palate, with a touch of lemon and quince on the finish. Nice. No wow. 86-87

13.0% alcohol. Light yellow color. Pretty nose of stone fruit, minerals, and a lightly spicy note. In the mouth, crisp and focused, with a solid burst of stony fruit backed up by a lightly spicy flash that has a bit of an herbal overtone to it. Solid finish. Good value. Fantastic summer porch wine. B+

Very pale gold. Clean, fresh with some intrigue. Otherwise I would echo what Guido said in his notes a few days ago but score it slightly lower. A versatile interesting white that I'll buy again.

The nose showed peach skins with raw almond, a hint of curry spice, and saline minerals. On the palate, it was light and fresh with zippy acidity, showing spiced apricot with bittersweet notes that continued through the finish. All and all a refreshing and highly enjoyable wine.

Has a bit of tradition still showing off on the nose and palate. Touches of smoke and oxygen -- even though I am being told its all stainless steel. 86 pts RP -- pretty good bench press for Viuria.

Tasted this at a Rijoa tasting and really enjoyed it. Would probably rate it an 87 at that tasting. Nice minerality and a decent finish. Unfortunately, the bottle we bought was corked and unpleasant.

Just an ordinary white wine with nothing that grabbed my attention. It's very closed on the nose and pretty boring on the palate with just an OK acidity. Lots of better options out there.

In Madrid. Dry with fresh apple and citrus flavors and some minerals. Nice acidic structure. Paired nicely with paella. Good basic stuff.

Nothing great. I guess I should not have expected much atthe price. None of the characteristic musty flavors taht make good white rioja a treat.

As others have said,there was nothing distinctive here nor did it add to my meal of lemon chicken.

Nose was not distinctive, and flavors were muted with a slightly harsh herbal finish.
