WINE DESCRIPTION
Lan Rioja Blanco is made from old-vine Viura, coming from estate vineyards located at Viña Lanciano. Grapes are manually harvested, destemmed and softly crushed before being macerated for a short period prior to the alcoholic fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Wines are fermented at a low temperatures to preserve delicate fruit character. The wine is then matured on its lees (dead yeast) for around four months prior to bottling.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Lan Rioja Blanco has a medium straw color.The nose offers a vibrant array of citrus fruits such as lemon and grapefruit, accompanied by subtle floral notes and a touch of stone fruit. On the palate, this wine exhibits a well-integrated acidity that brings balance and harmony to the wine. The citrus flavors persist, with a pleasant hint of ripe pear and a touch of yeastiness that brings a savory note, perfectly complementing the ripe fruity profile. The moderate length finish is smooth and well-balanced.
