2025 Bodegas Riojanas, Monte Real, Barrica, Rioja Blanco

A modern expression of Rioja Blanco, Monte Real Barrica Blanco combines vibrant fruit with subtle oak influence for a wine of impressive balance and complexity. Aromas of ripe peach, citrus zest and white flowers are complemented by delicate notes of vanilla, toasted almonds and gentle spice from barrel ageing. The palate is fresh and textured, with bright acidity carrying flavours of orchard fruit, lemon curd and a hint of creamy oak through to a long, elegant finish. A versatile white that pairs beautifully with grilled fish, roast chicken and creamy seafood dishes.
