Pale yellow in color, it is subtle on the nose, with fine anise notes, chamomile, and as the wine opens up, aromas of herbaceous grasses emerge. Vegetable notes of boxwood and nettles provide freshness to the whole. On the palate, it is complex. It has nerve and a lot of character, with a hint of saltiness. The aging on lees gives it volume, creaminess, and a very silky touch that envelops the mouth.

Clean citrus, reductive matchstick, crushed stone, and white flower notes all emerge from the 2022 Rioja Blanco Vinas Viejas, an incredibly well-made, balanced white that has a layered mouthfeel, building richness, and a clean, crisp, mineral-laced, almost salty finish. It will be a dream with tapas or as a starter. The blend is 85% Viura, 10% Malvasia, and the rest Tempranillo Blanco.
