Tierras De La Reina 2013

Though still best known for its reds, Rioja is increasingly building a reputation for fresh zingy whites. You,d be hard pushed to find a crisper example than this apple and lime scented white wine from the Chavarri family. They were the first in Rioja to begin bottling in the superior Rioja Alavesa , a district known for its particularly elegant wines. Their winemaker of 20 years standing, Ventura Lasanta, knows exactly how to capture the lively flavours of the just picked grapes in bottle. Estate owner Ruth Chavarri is fanatical about quality and says she has ,the best job in the world,. She enjoys a glass of this white while indulging in her favourite hobby , traditional Spanish cooking. Enjoy on its own or with seafood dishes or risotto.
