This crisp white offers modest flavors of apple, light herbs and citrus. Fresh and lively, but rather neutral in character. Drink now. 30,000 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add

Marques de Caceres intentionally lowered the amount of new oak on this barrel-fermented Viura, and the result is positive. The nose is smooth and slightly creamy, but not oaky or resiny smelling. Composed and balanced across the tongue, with orange, lime, nectarine and toasty flavors. Quite good for barrel-fermented white Rioja.——M.S.(2/1/2011)—— 88
