Martinez Lacuesta Rioja Campeador Vino Brisado 2021 750ml

Straw yellow colour with golden tints. Clean, lively and bright. The nose is a seduction of the aromatic capacity of a viura from special vineyards. Intense, fresh citrus and tropical notes. Perfectly integrated wood and some iodised notes. On the palate, harmony of fruit, with a tense but elegant acidity, saline, delicate and unctuous. A Viura that “breaks” the mould of the variety.

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.
