Finca Nueva 2010 Fermentado en Barrica Viura (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Fermentado en Barrica
Variety: Viura Northern Spain
Winery: Finca Nueva / Rioja

This may appeal more to some than others because barrel-fermented Viura is a tough row. Smells a lot like creamed corn or wheat, with apple cider on the side. It’s barely acidic enough, thus it’s soft in feel and tastes of butterscotch, melon and flabby apple. Seemingly less interesting than in the past.
