Moraza, 4 Caminos Viura, D.O. Rioja, orange (white) wine, 0.75l

An easy-drinking, fresh and light orange wine. This cuvée from Moraza is a delicious, aromatic orange wine made from white grapes of the Viura variety.  The hand-picked grapes then undergo natural fermentation with local yeasts. Skin maceration lasts only a few days, so as to extract the aromatic compounds and tannins for the resulting orange wine. The clear orange colour of the wine hints at what you will find in the flavour - mainly orange fruit and citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruit, apricots and peaches, together with notes of honey. Even so, the wine is not too sweet, but pleasantly light like a summer sunset. Enjoy it with paella on the terrace, or with olives and cheese. Unlike many modern Riojas, which have been adapted to the international market, Bodegas Moraza uses purely traditional methods, gaining a fresh, less oaky wine with authentic character. Instead of blending grapes from different vineyards to achieve the familiar taste of conventional Rioja, the wines are the result of the complexity of the terroir.
