Full of zesty citrus fruits with luxurious nuances of honey and spring flowers, the Sierra Cantabria Rioja Blanco is a stunner. A blend of Viura, Malvasia and Sauvignon Blanc, it's extremely fresh, vibrant and fruity, making it the perfect wine for seafood and tapas. The Sauvignon Blanc was vinified in oak barrels for two months, adding richness to the palate, yet there's still loads of bright fresh citrus and white fruits, making it super gluggable and a must have for the spring and summer. Sierra Cantabria are undoubtedly one of Rioja's best kept secrets, head winemaker Marcos Eguren having been named Winemaker of the Year in Tim Atkin's Special Rioja Report 2023, yet their wines remain astonishingly good value and are a must have for any serious cellar.
