Martinez Lacuesta White Rioja Barrica 2023

Description

GRAPE VARIETIES

100% Viura

WINE TASTING

A white Rioja wine created from local Viura grapes. After a cold fermentation in stainless steel, the wine remains over its own lees in new Central European acacia barrels (10%), Allier French oak barrels (35%) and American oak barrels from Missouri (55%) for a period of three months. It further ages in bottle, a stage that is essential to ensure the long-term development of the wine.

A pale yellow-green colour with delicate golden hues resulting from its ageing in wood casks. In the nose there is a perfect integration of the subtle fragrances from the different woods over a honeyed background of fresh fruit. On the palate it has a fresh, creamy entrance, with a pleasantly delicate hint of oak which
ensures a complex finish. This is a wine that can be drunk now or laid down for some years to further increase its depth and complexity. Serve very cold at 8ºC.

FOOD PAIRING

Perfect with grilled white meats, rice dishes, grill fish on the bone or with creamy sauces, semi cured cheeses and charcuterie.
