2024 Luis Canas Blanco Rioja Case Deal (6x75cl)

Bodegas Luis Cañas is a traditional family run firm that dates back to 1928, although they've grown grapes and made wine on a smaller scale for more than a century. Today, it is one of the leading winegrowers in Rioja Alavesa. The grapes required are sourced from over 270 hectares, between owned and controlled, of old high-altitude vineyards. The grapes are cold macerated at 6ºC for 12 hours in order to obtain all the aromatic potential of the varietal. After pressing and "débourbage", the wine is fermented under strict temperature control in order to avoid exceeding 15ºC and the wine losing its aromas.

Tasting Note:  A golden yellow colour with green tinted reflections. On nose it is elegant with pear and apple and some tropical fruit as well as hints of fig tree leaves. Fresh, elegant and smooth but really well structured.

Food match:  Perfect with tapas or salads and light fish dishes.
