Viña Ijalba 2022 Genoli - Viura (Rioja Joven)
We have become impassioned devotees of Macabeo – Viura’s other name in Spain. López de Heredia alerted us to the variety’s innate class and age-worthiness, and we now find more and more examples of it – including this fresh, leesy beauty, so full of fruit and lift, perhaps deriving partly from its deft seasoning of Maturana Blanca and Sauvignon Blanc.
