Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Reserva Blanco (2014)

La Rioja Alta, Rioja, Spain

Varietal(s): 90% Viura, 10% Malvasía Riojana

Complex and nuanced nose, toasty, smoky and spicy, with mushroom and earth, pollen and herbal tea notes. It fills your mouth with pungent flavors, despite being medium-bodied and having an ethereal quality about it, and it's very long and tasty and finishes almost salty, with an umami feeling, dry and chalky. Delicious, clean and still young, it should age effortlessly.
