Nivarius 2022 Tempranilly Blanco

2021 was our first importation from Nivarius, making a deafening noise, given its insignificant cost, and signalling the seriousness of this entrant to the field of white Rioja. Tempranillo Blanco is a relatively rare white mutation of its ubiquitous red forbear. It brings to the table a unique character – aromatically, it is suggestive of Grüner Veltliner, but the palate is more reminiscent of Rhône varieties such as Roussanne. The ultimate result is beguilingly original, and the price, as already stated, bears no relation to the wine’s quality.
