Alberto Orte, Sierra de la Demanda Rioja Blanco 2018

This powerful white Rioja is made from sustainably-grown 100+ year-old Viura and Garnacha Blanca vines. The nose has citrus and orchard fruit plus savory notes of fennel, ginger and white flowers. Rich citrus on the palate with white pear, a touch of bitterness, and smoky savory depth, and then a long silky citrus finish.
