Abel Mendoza Viura - Rioja, Spain
Producer's Notes:
From vineyards over 35 years old located in the Sonsierra. The grapes are hand-harvested and selected at the winery. The fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels. The wine is oak-aged for 5 months inside the same oak barrels with its own lees. The colours are yellow hues with green reflections, with fresh aromas with hints of citrus and herbs, and a fruity, refreshing, balanced, and persistent taste.
What We Say:
Refined, quietly powerful, and a benchmark for what Viura can achieve in the right hands, this opens with lifted citrus - lemon zest and grapefruit - alongside green apple, quince, and delicate white florals. There’s a subtle layering of wild herbs, fennel and a touch of leesy, nutty richness from barrel work, all sitting over a distinctly mineral core. The palate is taut yet textural, combining fresh acidity with a gentle waxy weight, building depth without sacrificing precision. It finishes long, saline and persistent, with citrus and stone fruit lingering alongside a faint savoury note and the very slightest hint of smoke. It's a beautifully balanced glass of white wine.
