You would be forgiven for thinking this is an Alsace Riesling, not Kiwi. So did I. Pure nose, classic taste, nice weight, impressive on the mid palate. Very smooth and polished. Excellent. — 6 years ago

This was really interesting. Floral. On skins for a year is what I think I heard. But light in color. — 8 years ago

Vive la France! Red wine with fish? Hell yes... This nailed it with organic Tasmanian salmon. Darker looking than it taste... Which was an as it should be medium light Bourgogne. — 9 years ago

Deep ruby, blackberry, vanilla oak, dry ripe tannins, cocoa black fruits, clovey spice, deep and meaningful, all in balance with its 15% alcohol. — 12 years ago

Not your typical California or French Rose, but $14.00 on sale it works
Definitely will decant my 2nd bottling

Winery Notes,
Honorío Rubio is a Riojano white and rosé specialist. In a land best known for its incredibly age-worthy reds, among many die-hards out there it is undoubtedly the traditional whites which represent Rioja's finest and most original wines. We would add as well the barrel aged rosés, which are incredibly rare (Lopez de Heredia's has not been available for over 5 years, and we hear that they will finally have a little bit of the next release, 2008, in 2018!) Honorío makes an absolutely killer rosé, from some of his oldest Viura and Garnacha, briefly macerated and co-fermented, then aged 16 months in used barrels (which previously held his Lias Finas white wine). An inimitable, rich and bright, incredibly food friendly style of rosé. — 6 years ago

At first had a little bite but after decanting it became quite smooth. Excellent finish. Would definitely recommend this and would drink again. 2015 — 8 years ago

2012- beautifully complex nose, layers of earth, minerality, meat and continues to develop in the glass. Young but approachable and enjoyable. Delicate fruit and floral notes accentuating and complimenting the VR terroir. Loving every drop. — 11 years ago

05' seamless incredible fruit and concentration. High acid. Strong finish. Not the most complex but a very solid effort. Lamb chops are good with Burgs. They just are. — 9 years ago

Frankincense and myrrh, I feel like I am in a manger scene hanging out with some kings. Toast, roasted wood and oaky aromas open up to spice seasoning with a lashing of salt and acidity. Made in a solera style from multiple vintages this is a unique wine in every way. A heady Viura Rioja blanco experience, I highly recommend it. #newschoolrioja — 9 years ago

I'm partial to Spanish wines and this is no exception. It can stand alone as a solid Tempranillo or it an be (as I discovered last night) the rich topping on a very refreshing mixed drink. — 11 years ago
