Valenciso’s Rioja Blanco blends 70% Viura and 30% Garnacha Blanca from vines up to 100 years old around Ollauri, in the far north of Rioja Alta, on clay and calcareous soils. The vineyards here sit at altitudes of up to 600 metres with an Atlantic-influenced climate, and have been farmed organically since Valenciso’s beginnings. Hand-harvested, it ferments naturally in low-toast oak, used to prevent undue influence on the wine, and ages in the same barrels for nine months. Bottled unfiltered.
