Muriel Rioja Blanco 2021 review - WineUncorked: Wine Reviews and Tips

co op

This Spanish blend of white Tempranillo grape variety (a mutation of the standard red Tempranillo that was only noticed in the 1980s) plus the common grape variety Viura makes for a simple quaffable white wine. The flavours of tinned pear and vanilla ice cream bring back memories of eating square chunks of pear from tinned fruit salad along with a block of ice cream. Nostalgia aside, it tastes rather like Pinot Grigio so would make a good alternative.
