Viña Ijalba 2020 Reserva Blanco
The blending of succulent Maturana Blanca and classically straight Viura turns out to be inspired, in this new wine, aged in barricas for fourteen months. It offers a new lens on white Rioja and is almost suspiciously delicious.

Notes from the Producer: Own approach to classical Rioja whites., including Maturana Blanca as predominant to show its long aging potential. As we say., Maturana Blanca is for us the best white grape from Rioja only overcome by old low yieldings Viuras in poor soils. In this case both combine targetting to be included among the great historical Rioja whites.,
