Marqués de Murrieta Rioja Reserva Capellania Blanco
Gabriella
100% Viura, aged for 18 months in 225L French and American Oak. Medium honey in color with a brilliant, golden sheen. Bright creamy custard, lemon meringue and pineapple notes on the nose, and accented with just a touch of banana and raw almond. In the mouth, the wine shows medium acidity, a lush, creamy mouthfeel and a long lingering finish of lemon zest and vanilla custard. Dense yet vibrant with great balance, and overall great structure, I’m impressed. This is a powerhouse of a little wine that can stand easily pair well with stronger cheeses and meats! 4/5

Nice golden color to this wine with a nose that is marked by strong lemon notes, and a fullness that draws me back in. Lemon grass, minerals, lactic notes, and a light dusting of caramel all come to mind, really intriguing and fresh. In the mouth this wine has a rich acidity and a full body, that fills the mouth. Lactic notes, combine with nectarines, lemon meringue and minerals. Really a complex and fun wine to taste. Full of spritz and youth, while at the same time big enough to pair with serious foods. 4.5/5
