Hermanos Hernaíz Gran Vino Blanco Rioja Alta DOCa - Finca La Emperatriz

With the Finca La Emperatriz Hermanos Hernaíz Gran Vino Blanco Rioja Alta comes a first-class white wine in the swirled glass. In this it offers a wonderfully bright, light yellow color. In the middle, the tone changes to an expressive golden yellow color. If you give it some air in the wine glass by swirling, you can perceive a perfect balance in this white wine, because it does not stand out on the walls of the glass neither watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like. With a little time in the glass, this Old World white wine reveals wonderfully expressive aromas of guava, gallia melon, pink grapefruit and lemon, rounded out by cocoa bean, black tea and gingerbread spice contributed by barrel aging.

On the palate, the Hermanos Hernaíz Gran Vino Blanco Rioja Alta from Finca La Emperatriz opens pleasantly dry, grippy and aromatic. In the finish, this matured white wine from the wine-growing region of Rioja finally inspires with beautiful length. Hints of kumquat and nashi pear are again evident.
