Vina Otano Viura - 2021 (750ml)
87 points View from the Cellar
The entry level 2021 Rioja Blanco “Viura” from Viña Otano is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks, with the wine given a few months of aging on its fine lees prior to bottling. The wine comes in at a svelte 12.5 percent octane in this vintage and delivers a pretty nose of pear, white flowers, raw almond, a touch of grassiness and a nice base of white soil tones. On the palate the wine is bright, medium-full and nicely balanced, with pretty good depth at the core, but a bit of a clipped finish from its closure.
