The entry level 2021 Rioja Blanco “Viura” from Viña Otano is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks, with the wine given a few months of aging on its fine lees prior to bottling. The wine comes in at a svelte 12.5 percent octane in this vintage and delivers a pretty nose of pear, white flowers, raw almond, a touch of grassiness and a nice base of white soil tones. On the palate the wine is bright, medium-full and nicely balanced, with pretty good depth at the core, but a bit of a clipped finish from its closure.

Product Review
Piercing woody aromas are about all you get on the nose of this barrel-fermented blend of Viura and Tempranillo Blanco. The palate is crisp, tight and resiny, while overtly woody flavors outweigh background white-fruit notes. A resiny flavor is front and center on a barrel-driven finish.

Viura is mostly used to make mildly acidic and young white wines. As a varietal its shows its gentle acidity complemented by medium body and notes of peach and citrus.

White wine is a wine whose color can be pale-yellow, yellow-green, and yellow-gold colored. The wine is produced from a variety of grape varieties. The flavor and color comes from the juice of the grape and sometimes the skin of the grape as well. Interestingly, not all white wine comes from white grapes. Some select red grapes are used as in Champagne.
