Cune Barrel Fermented White Rioja 2018 review - WineUncorked: Wine Reviews and Tips

A pale yellow Rioja made with the common Viura grapes has added creamy complexity from barrel fermentation and keeping it on the dead yeast (lees) that drops to the bottom of the barrel. Aromas of almond, apple and fresh pear are there in the flavour too but with added lemon and celery astringency. Nice enough but expensive.
