Sierra Cantabria, Blanco, D.O. Rioja, white wine, 0,75l Sierra Cantabria Blanco is a wine made from Sauvignon Blanc, Tempranillo Blanco, Viura and Malvasía grapes from vineyards between 35 and 70 years old. A fresh and expressive cuvée that reveals a lesser-known side of D.O. Rioja that is otherwise typical of its red wines.

Sierra Cantabria Blanco is a wine made from Sauvignon Blanc, Tempranillo Blanco, Viura and Malvasía grapes from vineyards between 35 and 70 years old, planted on clay-calcareous soils. All these vineyards are cultivated in accordance with the natural biorhythms of this very popular environment. The grapes are hand-harvested selectively in 20kg boxes and, on arrival at the winery, are destemmed and crushed in the traditional way to achieve a finer extraction. The must is cold macerated for 10 hours and fermented separately. The Sauvignon Blanc is stored for 2 months in French oak barrels and the rest of the grapes are stored in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks.

Given that D.O. Rioja is known for its red wines, especially crianzas, Sierra Cantabria Blanco is a great opportunity to discover a white wine that is as characteristic of the region as any of its red wines. A unique blend that beautifully reflects the essence of San Vicente de la Sonsierra.

The palate is fresh, silky and smooth with primary fresh citrus, apricot and hints of vanilla. Recommended especially with white meats, fish and young cheeses.

The ideal serving temperature is 8 °C.

Varieties: 35 % Sauvignon Blanc, 35 % Tempranillo Blanco, 20 % Viura, 10 % Malvasía
