El Circulo Rioja Blanco - Case of 6

Sorry, this item is no longer available

Full of light, lively butter and melon aromas then peach and pineapple on the palate, this is a characterful dry white in a real food-matching style. Expect a mineral tang, and a clean, crisp finish keeping this wine moreish and tongue-tingling all the way through.

Winemaker Antolin González was just 24 when he started making wine and has spent most of his career here in Rioja, crafting some of the most famous wines in the world. This white, from Viura grapes, is a lesser-known speciality: one of the region's hidden treasures. It benefits hugely from the cooling Atlantic and Mediterranean breezes that both arrive here to temper the natural heat of the day. Antolin leaves this white on its yeast lees to give it spicy richness.

White Rioja - El Circulo

Yes, I recommend this

Rioja blanco is still fairly rare. this one is a real find and fantastic value at the offer price. A touch aggresive at first, but after after a few hours opened out with softer edges (just decant) and seems very typical of this unique variety - I wonder why it is not more widely seen in wine merchants and supermarkets. I certainly will re-order this one! It's presented in a classy bottle too!

Perfect for Christmas

Yes, I recommend this

Bought a case for Christmas, tried a bottle, everyone loved it so ordered two more for Christmas/presents. Ideal for drinking with a meal, but also very easy to drink by itself. Excellent value for money when on sale.

Excellent Spanish white wine

Yes, I recommend this

It is normally very hard to find a good Spanish white wine in the UK without spending a fortune. Goes well with fish or with a snack of cured meats and cheese.
