VINESTRAL RIOJA BLANCO 2009, BODEGAS MARQUES DE REINOSA

TASTING NOTES

A white Rioja from a very good producer, this is a tremendous wine and perfect for anybody tiring of the same old international varieties over and over again. Distinctive and delicious.

PRODUCER NOTES

Bodegas Marqués de Reinosa was founded in 1956 and takes its name from the Marqués de Reinosa, a key figure in the development of Rioja wine over a century ago. An ultra-modern winery was built in 2000 in Autol, Rioja Baja.

Viñestral is a superb, value for money range of wines. The Crianza is made from 100% Tempranillo and matures in a mixture of French and American oak. Medium bodied and fragrant, with bright cherry-like fruit, it is produced in a relatively traditional way, with an emphasis on elegance over extraction.

Viñestral Blanco is made from the bodega’s best old-vine Viura, which delivers intense white fruit flavours with hints of flowers and fine herbs. A carefully timed period of maceration, followed by strict temperature-controlled fermentation, ensures the primary characteristics of the Viura grapes are retained.
