The straightforward blend of the two white grapes, the 2017 Faustino V Viura-Chardonnay, showed some dizziness after a recent bottling, with some sulfured notes and simple fruit in the background. The palate is quite weak, with simple flavors. 255,000 bottles produced.

Dry and clean, with straw, hay and other cava-like aromas. Take away the bubbles and this Viura is indeed like cava, so expect green apple, citrus and other crisp, lemony flavors. As varietal Viura from Rioja goes, Faustino has crafted a wine that’s well above average and mildly complex.——M.S.(4/1/2009)—— 87
