Kumquat, macadamia, charred lemon, fruit cocktail. Palate is bright yet textured with minerals and citrus pulp. A total delight, this is both generous and timid with gorgeous, bright structure. Viura, known in other regions of Spain as Macabeo or Macabeau, is a charmer of a varietal. ‘Cabezadas’ refers to the old-vine, low-yielding hilltop vineyards from which it was made. Traditionally the whites of Rioja Alavesa were planted on the cabezadas (coming from the word “cabeza” which means “head”), where the soils were most poor. In these conditions, the vines need to work harder with the resulting wine being more expressive and nuanced.
