Spanish White Wines

Spanish white wine is one the crest of a high quality wave. Producers using traditional varieties such as Viura, Verdejo and Macabeo allied to noble varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay are creating wonderful, aromatic cool fermented wines. None typify this approach more than Bodegas Naia in fashionable Rueda and the excellent Bodegas La Val and Groupo Galiciano using the Albarinho variety in Rais Baixas. Traditional wines are represented by the full flavoured white Rioja of Bodegas Riojanas and the sublime white Rioja from Remelluri with nuances of white burgundy fruit.
