Rioja Blanco 'Valenciso' 2024, Valenciso White

Rioja Blanco 'Valenciso' 2024, Valenciso WhiteDeliciously textural white Rioja from a historic producer, this is a wine that has a foot in both white Rioja camps: fresh, citrusy and bracing a la the new school, and complex, nutty and toasty a la the old. Beautiful balance and it will continue to evolve in bottle.
