Tres Viñas Blanco Reserva
Varieties
Viura, Malvasía, Garnacha Blanca
Vineyard
Viura and Malavasía are grown in our vineyards in Arenzana. The vines of these plots have deep alluvial silt soils with medium fertility.
Garnacha Blanca is a Mediterranean grape variety which thrives in our estate in Ausejo in the Rioja Oriental subregion with shallow, calcareous clay, rocky soils poor in organic material.
Vinification and ageing
The grapes are pressed without maceration to convey freshness and tension, which provide a long and soothing finish.
Fermentation is performed in stainless steel vats at 15-19°C (59-66°F). We then keep the wine in concrete vats, where we blend the varieties prior to ageing.
Following with Rioja’s historic tradition, the wine is aged for 12 months in new American-oak barrels providing rich, vivid sweet notes, before it is bottled for at least one year.
Colour
Attractive, bright golden yellow colour.
Aroma
Intense aroma on the nose, leading to a gourmand blend of nutmeg, autumn fruits, orange peel and hints from the mellow sweet oak.
Palate
Unctuous and long on the palate, you can taste the freshness from the citric and mineral undertones, which are characteristic of the grapes’ soils. The same aromas of nutmeg, autumn fruits and orange peel can be enjoyed on the palate. Alcohol and acidity are balanced with great precision.
Food pairing
It is the best accompaniment to lighthearted meals, such as sushi, autumn vegetables, risottos, including artichokes, and Iberian ham and a cold cut platter.
