Daminio De Punctum, 2017
The Vibe: Viura, white, Rioja, Spain, full body, vanilla, lemon, dry, creamy.
Friends Would Say: Not your run of the mill dry fellow! This chappy has lots more to offer. He comes from Rioja which is known for big red wines where they only make about 5% white wine. Have you ever had a white rioja? You probably should. Aged in oak, this wonderful grape is complemented by the vanilla and woody elements of the barrel, igniting notes of spice, anise and nutty qualities on the finish with a fresh acidity. He’s a snappy bottle with a racey after taste that will leave you wanting more!
The Banter: Made from 100% Viura, which is fermented in new oak barrels. This white Rioja is well balanced, fresh and lively with an aroma of citrus fruits and vanilla. The palate is soft with flavours of lemon, green apple, peach and vanilla. The oak ageing gives the wine a full body and a buttery, creamy texture which is balanced perfectly by the crisp acidity. Selection of tapas or even a veggie paella. Viura is the grape you’ve never heard of, dont worry its an important grape where in France it is called Macabeo and makes beautiful balanced whites.
Techy Bits: Fincas de Azabache, Rioja, Barrel Fermented, Viura (90%) Verdejo (10%), 12% a.b.v, 750ml, vintage 2018
The First Date?: When you bring this guy into the room heads will turn, stay cool though you got this. White Rioja wine has the glorious luxury of ageing really well and holds up well over 10 years in the bottle, so age is definitely not a “thing” here, in fact white Rioja actually gets better with age, quids in!
