Viña Gravonia Blanco Crianza

Viña Gravonia is the entry-tier Lopez de Heredia white, 100% Viura (Macabeo) from the 24-hectare Viña Zaconia vineyard near Haro. Aged around four years in old American oak with twice-yearly racking, then around four years in bottle - well past the Rioja DOCa Crianza minimum for whites. Style is unmistakable: pale gold, oxidative-leaning, with beeswax, roasted nuts, dried citrus peel, saffron, and salinity.
