Conde de Valdemar Rioja Blanco Finca Alto Cantabria 2023 Case

94pts Decanter

"Very elegant with well-integrated and supportive oak, this is a great example of barrel-aged 100% Viura (fermented in a mix of stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels, with six months' ageing on fine lees in new 225L and 500L barrels). With a slightly creamy texture, green apple and spice, it is immediately inviting but will age very well. A very satisfying white Rioja that offers complexity and depth."
