Description

Beautiful subtle mature white Rioja.

Jancis Robinson's Wine of the Week April 2014.

"The grape variety in question is that called Viura in Rioja and Macabeo in France, one that has inspired previous wines of the week and my article Macabeo/Viura - the Cinderella grape? The vines for Gravonia are an amazing age: up to 100 years old according to Berry Bros' Spanish buyer, which makes the wine look even more of a bargain. Quite apart from its four years in well-tended oak, as the family proudly boast, 'not a single grape from another region goes into our wines' - which makes you pause for thought. The 2004 vintage, by the way, is one of the most highly regarded of the decade in Rioja.

This wine is deep gold and unctuous yet dry as a bone and fresh as a daisy if you will forgive the clichés. It fairly winks at you in the glass and delivers the most wonderful cocktail of wax, citrus, nuts and quince, all very full bodied but quite refreshing enough, more because of its texture and bite than because of high acidity. I found it went absolutely beautifully with slivers of Iberico ham. This is white wine to drink thoughtfully and thankfully with food."
