Marqués de Cáceres 2006 Blanco Fermentado en Barrica White (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Northern Spain
Variety: White Blend
Winery: Marqués de Cáceres / Blanco Fermentado en Barrica

The winery has dialed back the time in oak for its barrel-fermented Viura to two months from five or six, and it’s a decidedly less oaky wine than in years prior. Now it shows a controlled lees character along with lemon and apple flavors. Limited in what it offers, but made well.
