Honey with just a touch of acidity and glorious sweetness. Straw on the palate and the nose. Apricot, stone fruit but also sweet ammonia (although not unpleasant). Oak throughout although subtle. Enjoyed with a shrimp paella but even better with cheese and crackers for dessert. Not far off some semi-sweet dessert wines although not oppressively a “sweet” white in any respect.

White Rioja is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Nice crisp flavor with light fruits. Good mineralality. Will be better in a few years. This is no L Heredia, but still good for the tariff.

White flowers and herbs with a nice balance of acidity, minerality and some toastieness from the oak. Dense on the palate and rich mouthfeel.

The nose is nothing special. But nice floral notes on the palate. Some minerality, lemon zest. Very pleasing.
