2023 Bodegas Muriel Rioja Blanco, Spain, Wine Review
This is made from 100% Viuraa grapes in Rioja, Spain. Light yellow in color with a touch of green, clear and bright. The nose is nice with limes, slight grapefruit and a hint of green apples. Light bodied. Good balance. On the palate, this is refreshing with limes and slight apples. Clean. Nice finish. It drinks nicely on its own and would work nicely with lighter foods especially sea food dishes. Drink over the next year or two.
