Manzanito DOC Rioja Blanco

White Rioja is an increasingly appreciated wine from the renowned Rioja region, traditionally known for its red wines. This wine is created through the interplay of terroir, grape varieties and cellar technique. It is made from the rare Tempranillo Blanco grape variety, a natural mutation of red Tempranillo. This grape lends the wine balanced acidity, fine fruit aromas and a remarkable structure that impresses both young and matured. The special cellar technique of bâtonnage, in which the wine is stirred on the lees during maturation, gives it more body, a creamy texture and additional aromas, making white Rioja a unique tasting experience.

Characteristics

This wine impressively combines fresh fruit aromas with subtle yet seductive notes of brioche. Ageing in wood gives it a soft, smooth texture that unfolds pleasantly on the palate. The subtle aromatics of vanilla and coconut harmoniously round off the tasting experience and lend the wine an elegant depth. The balance between freshness and the complex aromas of the oak ageing makes this wine an exquisite choice for connoisseurs who appreciate fine nuances and special finesse.

Serving suggestion

Pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken or salmon in a light lemon butter sauce. A creamy risotto with mushrooms and shaved Parmesan, which highlights the wine's fine aromas, is also recommended.
