Product Notes

Castillo Clavijo Rioja Barrel Ferminated Viura is an exquisite Spanish wine. Its colour reflects golden sunshine and its aroma reveals subtle, enchanting notes of ripe fruits, vanilla and nuts. There's a hint of French and American oak from its barrel fermenting process that's well-integrated into the wine's profile. The flavour echoes the nose, presenting a rich fruity palate accentuated by smooth, toasted nuances. This wine offers a solid acidity that perfectly balances its richness, resulting in a harmonious finish. Ideal for pairing with fish, cheeses and white meats, this Viura wine is a true hallmark of Riojan sophistication.

Tasting Notes

Soft lemon and peach fruit on the nose and a crisp palate with more ripe citrus and peach flavours, and a subtle hint of fresh white flowers.
