Varietal

Viura

Viura, a celebrated white grape variety indigenous to Spain’s Rioja and La Rioja Alta regions, showcases remarkable adaptability and versatility. Also referred to as Macabeo, it plays a significant role in many Spanish white wines and Cava blends, lending them distinctive characteristics and flavor profiles.

Renowned for its crisp acidity, Viura wines boast a light body and refreshing citrus notes, often complemented by hints of green apple and floral aromas. Its capacity to maintain acidity, even in warm climates, renders it a preferred choice for winemakers aiming for balance and vibrancy.

Whether savored on its own or blended with other varietals, Viura remains integral to Spanish winemaking, offering a delightful and approachable drinking experience globally.
