Solar de Randez Barrel Aged Blanco | Bodega Las Orcas

Bodegas Los Orcas already make a delicious zippy, citrus-lead style of unoaked Viura, so we asked them for a more classic, hedonistic counterpart to that, and thus the barrel aged Blanco was born. From 80 year old bush vines of Viura, this has lovely pineapple tropical fruit, citrus peel and a touch of creamy, toasty oak that adds breadth and texture. Delicious, excellent value white Rioja.
