This is a very special white wine made entirely from Malvasia grapes grown on a single vineyard planted in 1975. It has amazingly complex smoky and floral aromas. On the palate it is full bodied and fresh with impressive depth of exotic fruit, toast and spice flavours from its 6 months ageing in oak barrels. It has gentle acidity, long length and 13.5% alcohol. A remarkable, beautifully mature white wine from the very good 2016 vintage; quite unlike any I have tasted from Rioja!
Perfect with salads with an exotic touch, oily fish dishes, paella or creamy, soft cheeses.

Rated 93pts by both James Suckling and Tim Atkin MW
Bodegas Ollauri are located in Ollauri, a small old village of just 300 inhabitants in the heart of the Rioja Alta subzone. The winery is famous for having the oldest and largest underground cellars in Rioja, where over 300,000 bottles under the Conde de los Andes brand name – including legendary vintages such as 1892, 1918, 1948 and 1964 – are stored. If you are looking for mature, “museum-release” Riojas of impeccable quality and fair prices, Conde de los Andes is the place!
Their white Conde de los Andes Capitulo 1 Malvasia 2016 was barrel fermented then aged for six months in new French oak barrels followed by 5 years in bottle in their underground cellars.
