FINCA NEUVA RIOJA BLANCO - 2009

100% Viura grapes, barrel fermented and aged 4 months in French Oak barrels.  13% alcohol.

TASTING NOTES:

Straw-gold color with floral lemon aromas.  Peaches, honey, minerals, and lots of citrus. Candied apple-pear on the finish with oak undertones. 

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

91 PTS
A really unique and satisfying white from Spain. There is a deliciousness here. A long finish. Great balance and acidity. You can't ask for much more from a wine that costs $15 a bottle.
