D.O.Rioja/Javier-La Vina de Maria 0.75l

La Viña de María is an elegant white wine from Rioja Alavesa, which captivates with its freshness and mineral depth. Made from 100% Viura from a vineyard planted in 1965 in Lanciego, it ages for 10 months in 500 l French oak barrels, which gives it a gentle creaminess and a complex aromatic profile. This wine offers an aroma of white fruit and delicate floral notes, complemented by a mineral component. On the palate it is balanced, fresh, with a harmonious finish, which perfectly reflects the terroir of the old vineyard and the precise work of the winery.

Grape variety: 100% Viura – a traditional white Rioja variety, known for its freshness, delicacy and mineral character.

Ageing: Fermentation takes place in 500 l French oak barrels, followed by 10 months of ageing in the same barrels, which supports complexity and a gentle texture in the wine, without overshadowing the character of the variety.

Vineyard: The grapes come from a small vineyard of 0.18 ha planted in 1965 in Lanciego, on soil with a high content of clay and sandy loam, at an altitude of 470 m with a 20% slope. The vines are trained using the vaso system and partly on espalier, to minimise the direct exposure of the grapes to the sun.

Tasting notes: The colour is bright golden, the aroma carries notes of white fruit, delicate flowers and a mineral component. The flavour is fresh, harmonious, with a creamy texture and a long finish, which highlights the terroir and the winemaker's work.

Food pairing: Ideal with seafood, grilled fish, delicate white meat or creamy pasta. Thanks to its mineral elegance, it also goes well with delicate cheeses or dishes with herbal and citrus notes.

Alcohol content: 13.5%

Origin: D.O.Ca. Rioja Alavesa – Bodegas Javier San Pedro Ortega, a traditional producer combining respect for the terroir with modern winemaking.
