Marques de Tomares S.L. Rioja Blanco Crianza DOCa 2019

White Rioja often flies under the radar, but it can easily rival its red counterparts from the region. The climatic conditions and soils of Rioja Alta provide an ideal foundation for producing robust and complex white wines.

Marques de Tomares' Rioja Blanco is a prime example, boasting considerable potential to impress.

Approaching its drinking maturity, this wine promises at least a decade of enjoyment. It dazzles with bright fruit flavours in the glass—ripe pear, and hints of peach, delicately underscored by a touch of barrique and a subtle herbal spice. On the palate, it is creamy and harmonious, with fruit notes that linger alongside a nuanced influence of oak. A well-balanced acidity adds a refreshing curve that spans the palate, leading to a harmonious finish.

This wine is a revelation for those unfamiliar with Rioja Blanco and a delightful surprise for connoisseurs of these wines.
