AROMAACIDITYTANNINBODYFLAVOURPRICE
Creamy stone fruit, flowers and mineralityMediumN/AMedium to fullButtery, honeysuckle, nutty vanilla£8.00 / £22.00 / £32.00
Selling PointsA great alternative to a white oaked Burgundy or expensive Viognier. White wine from sandy soils in the Rhône; it spends 7 to 8 months in oak to give it a rounded richness.
Tasting NotesLoaded with creamy stone fruit flavours and a touch of wet stone. Very rich, round and deep but with enough acidity to shine with food.
Food MatchingGood with Potted Beef & Bacon, Roast Chicken, Meaty Fish (like turbot or monkfish), Creamy Pasta or even a Steak.

Dry, fragant and nutty whiteLópez de HerediaSpainRioja DOCa100% Viura (aka Macabeo)2004
AROMAACIDITYTANNINBODYFLAVOURPRICE
Lemon, dried apricots, toasted almondsMediumN/AFullGreen apple, pear, citrus & honeysuckle£11.00 / £28.50 / £42.50
Selling PointsOne of the oldest family run bodegas in the Rioja, aims “to give to society the best of their hopes and dreams”. This unusual organic white wine spent 4 years in oak barrels, making it a slightly oxidised style of wine, similar to sherry.
Tasting NotesThis is the archetype of old-style white Rioja, with a nose of quince, beeswax, verbena and honeycomb and a palate that manages both to be outstandingly decadent yet reassuringly fresh; almonds, citrus fruits and apricots.
Food MatchingChicory Salad, Strong Cheeses, Bone Marrow & Onions; Grilled seafood, White Meat and even lean Steaks
