Description

Akemi Viura 2019

A wine born from the combined talent and know-how of the Ontañón family winemaking team and Michelin star chef Félix Jiménez. Creates a small universe of scents that give total meaning to the Japanese word "akemi", which means clarity and beauty.

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Viura. The fruit comes from 35-year-old vines in a single vineyard plot belonging to the Ontañón family winery in Rioja, Spain. The wine ages in mostly 2nd use American oak before bottling.

Taste Profile: This is a rich, tropical white wine. Grapefruit citrus nose with subtle pepper and floral undertones. Complex, dry and full-bodied palate with a nice texture, refreshing acidity, flavours of tropical fruits and vanilla.

Buttery & Honeyed Whites

Full-bodied fruit and spice, often with the ability to age. This style usually relies on new oak to impart vanilla driven characteristics. Malolactic fermentation & on lees ageing also contributes to the texture
