Muga Rioja Blanco 2008

Ninety percent viura with a splash of malvasia. Orange peel, ripe melon and anise lead, backed by a cool thread of smoky mineral. Generous and smooth in the mouth, orchard fruit and melon show real depth, with dry stone underneath keeping things honest. What saves it from pure softness is the freshness that runs through to the finish, giving the wine genuine cut and life. Texture and vitality in good balance.
