R. LOPEZ DE HEREDIA 2014 'GRAVONIA' CRIANZA WHITE

Seriously one of the most traditional and perennially delicious white Riojas on the market. Made solely from the Viura grape, this is remarkably fresh and aromatic with notes of orchard fruit, spicy oak, and white florals. The wine was aged in barrel at the winery for a full four years (!) before being bottled and aged just a little longer before release, resulting is a wildly nuanced and interesting white wine that is full-bodied, dense, and lovely.
