Olivier Rivière Vinos, Le Blanc DOCa Rioja, Spain 2023
Grape Variety: Grenache Blanc , Viura, Malvasía coming from nine small parcels in Rioja planted on clay and marl. Grapes are hand harvested, then fermentation and ageing are divided equally between concrete and French oak for eight to ten months.
Tasting Notes: earthy, dry, lemon, quince, dried herbs, nutty, brisk acidity and a chalky, savory finish, more texture than fruit. This white blend is well structured, creamy, with acidity and a long finish.
Perfect Pairings
Sardines, tortilla española, roast chicken, or a plate of Idiazábal and Gordal Olives.
Olivier Rivière’s trained at Domaine Leroy and Domaine de Chassorney, he came to Rioja in 2004 and began his new journey converting vineyards with biodynamic practices and applies terroir-first thinking to his w**es. Here his white Rioja blend sees a native yeast fermentation with élevage split across several vessel types rather than a single oak recipe.
