Description
Bodegas Luis Cañas, a cornerstone of Rioja Alavesa since 1928, champions high altitude, old vine vineyards across 270 hectares. Viticulture director Ruben Jimenez, Tim Atkin MW's 2023 Grower of the Year, safeguards unique sites and ancient varieties, ensuring concentrated grapes for exceptional wines.
A beautifully balanced example that straddles the styles of the old and the new. Vibrant citrussy Viura is blended with the more weighty Malvasia and the brief barrel maturation adds a honeyed roundness to the crisp lemony fruit. Beautiful golden yellow colour with bright lemon-tinted reflections. Elegant, combining hints of flowers, fruits and hazelnuts. Dry, with just enough acidity to make it fresh and lively with a structured and tasty finish of ripe fruit.
Perfect as an aperitif, with tapas, salads, poultry, or light fish dishes, it embodies the essence of Rioja Alavesa's quality.
