Tasting profile
Structure: light-bodied, medium acidity, dry
Viura is Rioja's principal white grape, known as Macabeo elsewhere in Spain and a mainstay of Cava. In its modern, unoaked form it gives a light, neutral-leaning white: green apple and citrus over white flowers and a faint almond note, with moderate acidity and a clean, short finish. Light-bodied and undemanding — the everyday face of white Rioja, quite unlike the barrel-aged traditional style that can last for decades.
Serving: Serve at 8–10 °C.
