  March 6, 2024 - By the glass. 100% Viura from Rioja Alta area. 12.5% ABV. Ages 6 months in new oak barrels (50% French and 50% American). On the nose appear aromas of Roscón de Reyes (brioche, orange blossom, citrus, sugar) along with the essence of sweet peaches and a spicy touch. Basic but charming. On the palate it has an excessive volume, perhaps over-extracted, nuanced by the freshness of a citric acidity. Good length. Mellow bitter finish. Absolutely digestible. A wine to be discovered.
  
  Por copas. 100% Viura de la Rioja Alta. 12.5% de volumen alcohólico. Envejece 6 meses en barricas nuevas de roble (50% francés y 50% americano). En nariz aparecen aromas a Roscón de Reyes (brioche, azahar, cítricos, azucar) junto con la esencia de melocotones dulces y un toque especiado. Básico aunque encantador. Al paladar presenta un volumen excesivo, quizás sobreextractado, matizado por la frescura de una acidez cítrica. Buena longitud. Meloso final amargo. Absolutamente digestible. Un vino a descubrir.
