Nivarius Fermentado en Barrica is a barrel-fermented white wine that oozes elegance. Straw yellow colour with greenish reflections. Fruity nose with floral notes and a nutty, oak-scented woodiness. The rich and balanced palate has a silky texture and lovely persistence. Orange citrus and vanilla flavours pull in one direction whilst grapefruit and wet stone minerality pull in the other, creating an amazing value and complex barrel-fermented wine.
Ageing potential: 5 years.
The fruit comes from a selection of vineyards in the Sonsierra Riojana area, Albelda de Iregua, Montes de Clavijo and Nalda. These vineyards are found in the heart of La Rioja between 700 and 800 meters of altitude, on limestone soils of Cretaceous origin.
Manual harvest with optimal aromatic maturation. Light pressing then fermentation in 225-litre French oak barrels at low temperature. The wine ages on fine lees for 6 months in the same barrels, stirring daily.

Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
