Bright and expressive, this white opens with aromas of fresh pear, green apple, and citrus zest, layered with subtle floral notes and a touch of white peach. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, with lively acidity balanced by a soft, rounded texture. Hints of fennel, wet stone, and a gentle almond note add complexity and depth. Clean and precise through the finish, this is an elegant, food-friendly white with freshness, balance, and quiet sophistication.
Viura is a classic Spanish white grape best known for its freshness and subtle aromatics, but when barrel-fermented, it gains richness, texture, and surprising depth.
Staff Pick – Julie Chambers, Wine Advisor: “I had the pleasure of visiting Bodegas Cornelio in Spain on my last trip over there, while tasting through their whites with the winemaker, this one completely won me over. It’s made from Viura, a grape you don’t see much in the U.S., and the barrel fermentation gives it amazing body, texture, and character without losing freshness. It’s rich enough for roast chicken, creamy pastas, or grilled fish, but still bright enough to sip on its own. One of those rare whites that feels both special and easy to drink.”
