Cosme Palacio Rioja 1894 Blanco 2018
Spain, DOCa Rioja
Viura, Malvasia bianca
Description
Lemon yellow, of great clarity and brilliance. We find the purity of Viura from old vines located on slopes facing the sun, where the ripeness achieved provides us with a mixture of exotic fruit aromas with hints of dried flower petals. The French oak barrels bring mineral touches and spices, creating a complex and elegant whole, which gives this wine a unique personality. Great intensity on the palate, glycerine with gentle sensations of sweetness magnificently balanced with the natural acidity that gives liveliness and freshness with a long finish.
