Luis Alegre – La Reñana White Wine Fermented in Oak Barrels

🍇 Variety: 100% Viura
📍 Origin: Rioja Alavesa – La Reñana Vineyard (over 50 years old)
🍷 Wine type: Barrel-fermented white
🪵 Aging: Fermented and aged for 6 months in French oak barrels

La Reñana Blanco is much more than a Rioja white. It originates from a unique vineyard, at 550 meters of altitude, with poor, clay-limestone soils that impart character and freshness.

After a manual harvest and exhaustive selection, this 100% Viura ferments in new French oak barrels, where it rests on its lees for 6 months. The result is a complex wine, with notes of white fruit, citrus, dried flowers, light toasted hints, and a vibrant acidity that makes it gastronomic and very versatile.

A serious white wine, with structure and a long life ahead.
