Description

Discover the vibrant essence of Rioja Alavesa with the Marqués de Vitoria Blanco. Produced by Bodegas Marqués de Vitoria in the renowned town of Oyón, this wine is a masterful expression of the Viura grape—the backbone of traditional white Rioja. With a commitment to both innovation and environmental stewardship, the winery crafts a white wine that perfectly captures the fresh, cool spirit of its terroir. Upon pouring, you are greeted by a brilliant, pale yellow hue. The nose is immediately expressive, offering a delicate bouquet of crisp green apples, zesty citrus fruits, and subtle white floral notes, underpinned by a refreshing mineral character typical of the high-altitude vineyards in Rioja. On the palate, it is lively and harmonious, balancing a bright, mouth-watering acidity with a medium body and persistent, clean fruit flavors. Unlike the heavily oaked styles of the past, this 'joven' (young) wine focuses on purity and fruit-forward elegance, making it incredibly versatile. It is the perfect companion for a variety of culinary delights; pair it with fresh grilled fish, seafood tapas, mild soft cheeses, or even a light quiche. Its approachable nature also makes it an excellent choice for casual social gatherings or as an refreshing aperitif on a warm day. By choosing Marqués de Vitoria, you are supporting a winery that respects the deep-rooted traditions of the Rioja region while daring to explore modern, fresher styles. It is an authentic, elegant, and highly enjoyable white wine that brings the sunshine of Spain directly to your glass.
