El Pacto - Rioja Blanco (2021)

About the wine

Traditional-style white Rioja, with its nutty rather than fruity flavor that works so beautifully with food, is undergoing a renaissance thanks to wines like this. The El Pacto Blanco is a Rioja D.O. wine made by Viñedos El Pacto crafted from primarily Viura, with some Malvasía, Garnacha Blanca and Jaina grapes.

The color is straw yellow of medium intensity, with a very attractive shine that gives it great luminosity in the glass.

The nose is complex, with notes of hay, cream and pastries, as well as citrus nuances in the background.

The palate is long, with very good acidity, and at the same time a lot of structure. The tactile sensations generated by the interaction between the aging oak and the freshness of the grape stand out. But it also stands out for its fullness and creaminess in the mouth, the result of a complete maturation in the vineyard, where the low production of old vines contributes to the richness of its bunches. A wine structured by its great acidity and rounded by its ample silky sensation.

Pairs well with Shellfish, Hard and Orange-Skinned Cheeses, Olives, Salads, Charcuterie, Fried Chicken, and Fish & Chips.
