This light white Rioja displays the refreshingly biting aspect of what the appellation has to offer. The focus here is on the pleasant almost citrus-skin astringency rather than an opulent fruitiness. Its crisp and lively profile makes it a better choice for the table to complement a rich seafood dish rather than a stand-alone aperitivo.
