Rioja Blanco, La Antigua Clásico white reserva 2019

Description:
The La Antigua Clásico Blanco Reserva 2019 is a classic and characterful white Rioja that demonstrates how elegant and layered aged white wines from this region can be. In the glass, it displays a golden-yellow color with refined aromas of ripe lemon, peach, and apple, complemented by notes of vanilla, toast, and a subtle spiciness from oak aging. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and creamy, with a beautiful tension between ripe fruit, fresh acidity, and a light minerality. The finish is long, complex, and harmonious.

When to drink:
This Blanco Reserva is perfect for an extensive dinner or a special occasion where a gastronomic wine is desired. Ideal for lovers of white wines with depth and aging potential (a fuller white wine, in other words).

Fun fact:
Oak-aged white Rioja is a traditional wine style that is increasingly being re-evaluated. With this Reserva, La Antigua shows that white from Rioja can be just as complex and age-worthy as red.

Winemaker:
Bodega La Antigua combines traditional Rioja techniques with modern precision. Through carefully selected grapes and controlled oak aging, a wine is created that is both classic and refined.

Food pairing tip:
Excellent with grilled fish, lobster, creamy shellfish, poultry in cream sauce, mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses. The structure and complexity of this wine make it an ideal table companion for rich dishes.
