Muga Fermentado En Barrica Blanco 2010

Pale gold with a green edge. Lemon curd, white nectarine and melon lead, underpinned by toasted barrel spice and a smoky lees character from fermentation in 100% new barrique. Initially tight and citrus-focused, it loosens with air, pit fruit softens the frame and the texture rounds out without losing its freshness. A long, mineral close with lingering zest and a pleasing smokiness. Polished oak-influenced Rioja Blanco built on 90% viura and 10% malvasia.
