Lopez de Haro 2014 Rioja Grand Reserva Blanco "Classica" 750ml

The 2014 Gran Reserva Blanco Classica is a blend of 80% Viura, 15% Malvasía and 5% Garnacha Blanca. Aged for three years in French and Eastern European oak followed by extended bottle aging, it has a classic style. This is golden in hue, with cinnamon, nutmeg, cigar box and soft herbal aromas. Creamy and structured with delicate tannins, a polished texture and a long, spice-laden finish, the 2014 is a fine example of old-school white Rioja.
