Luis Canas Rioja Blanco Vinas Viejas
Vibrant citrussy Viura is blended with the more we Malvasia and the brief barrel maturation adds a honeyed roundness.
A beautifully balanced example of white Rioja that straddles the styles of the old and the new. Vibrant citrussy Viura is blended with the more weighty Malvasia and the brief barrel maturation adds a honeyed roundness to the crisp lemony fruit. Beautiful golden yellow colour with bright lemon-tinted reflections. Elegant, combining hints of flowers, fruits and hazelnuts. Dry, with just enough acidity to make it fresh and lively with a structured and tasty finish of ripe fruit.
Perfect with seafood and shellfish, meats, salads, risottos as well as mild cheeses and nuts.
Winemaking
Grapes are hand selected and brought to the winery in the smallest tractors in the region. They are hand sorted at on of the wineries two Mistral sorting tables, where Juan Luis Cañas stands watch at each harvest. Fermentation occurs in French Oak Barrels for 17 days before the wine is aged in new French and American oak for three and a half months, with lees, until bottling.

Excellent
I haven't be able to sample all the wines, yet! But, my experience was very good. The original offer was for a mixed case of red & white, however, I am not a keen red wine drinker. I asked Cheers if they could offer me an all white selection of Spanish whites, and they came up trumps!
I keep buying this
Nice wine with a vanilla essence, always reliable delivery
Cheers to Your Wine Journey!
