Ondarre Valdebarón Blanco

Valdebarón is a wine to open if you want an affordable (in terms of price and stocks) white from Rioja. It's not complex, but it's definitely good. Intense bouquet of honey, apple, butter and tropical fruits. It feels naked if you remove the lees/oak layer. Aye, it lacks freshness (think of smeared apple vs green apple), but overall it has good volume, minerality and concentration. Considering the price tag, good choice for an everyday drink.
