Eguren Ugarte Reserva White Wine 2018

Winemaker's Notes

Pale gold in the glass — warm, luminous and immediately communicating the 13 months of new French oak aging and the concentrated aromatic richness of Viura and Garnacha Blanca from Eguren Ugarte's own Rioja Alavesa vineyards. On the nose, honey and dried fruits open with generous intensity, followed by a subtle touch of quince adding a refined complexity and the kind of layered aromatic depth that only serious oak aging and exceptional raw material produce together. On the palate, absolutely full and smooth — impressive in its completeness and presence, with intense toasted and spicy flavours arriving with complete authority and lingering for a long time on a finish of real distinction and satisfaction. A white Rioja Reserva that fills the glass, fills the palate and leaves an impression that lasts well beyond the last sip. Best enjoyed with white meat, fish and seafood. Serve at 8°C.
