Martinez Lacuesta White Rioja Barrica 2024 is a white Rioja wine created from local Viura grapes. After a cold fermentation in stainless steel, the wine remains over its own lees in new Central European acacia barrels (10%), Allier French oak barrels (35%), and American oak barrels from Missouri (55%) for a period of three months. It further ages in bottle, a stage that is essential to ensure the long-term development of the wine. A pale yellow-green colour with delicate golden hues resulting from its ageing in wood casks. The nose has a perfect integration of the subtle fragrances from the different woods over a honeyed background of fresh fruit. On the palate, it has a fresh, creamy entrance, with a pleasantly delicate hint of oak that ensures a complex finish. This wine can be drunk now or laid down for some years to further increase its depth and complexity. It is perfect with grilled white meats, rice dishes, grilled fish on the bone, or served very cold at 8°C.
