Sometimes( mostly), trusting the importer is good common sense.
So @VineST.Imports brings in this underpriced ( value?) Rioja Blanco.
Lots of coconuty wood and a touch of creaminess on the nose, It’s bright and creamy on the palate, hints of vegetal both nose/palate. Nice with a tuna & white bean pasta salad. The oak lingers on the palate but still persists in being creamy, no sharp edges. Nice qpr.
Thanks@Andrea
