Made from 100% old vine Viura and aged in 100% American oak barrels for 4 years followed by a further 3 years in bottle before being bottled, this wonderful white Rioja is intense, fresh and still remarkably youthful.
“2016 was a superb vintage in Rioja, and the 2016 Viña Gravonia Blanco, which has the cellar aroma that all the wines, especially the whites, have, due to the longer time the wines spend in barrel. The white vines in this vineyard are now 92 years old and their juice was fermented in old oak vats with indigenous yeasts. They explained, “We have never used selected yeasts.” It was matured in their well-seasoned American oak barrels for four years. It’s paler than any of the other whites, and it has a little less pungency, with very good freshness. It’s elegant, subtle, clean and ethereal. They had good yields and a good climatic year. 42,000 bottles produced.” 95pts Wine Advocate
