on the nose, clean with medium intensity of flavours, youthful notes of mineral, citrus and apple, floral and some weird scent kind of lanolin like.
dry on the palate with medium flavour, medium plus acid, medium alcohol, medium minus body. Definitely the fruit stands out more on the palate - pear and peach and apple, citrus, medium plus finish
overall a good wine, very typical of whites from Rioja. Crisp, needs food to really show it's true self.

very simple, light, crisp, and dry white. Shows a little grapefruit with some peachy and floral notes. There is also quite a bit of underlying minerality.

Dry, very fresh and crisp with citrus & gooseberry, light fruitiness, a touch of mineral on day two.
