Crianza Dry White Wine

2016 Rioja Macabeo

Desde 1870 Urbina Crianza Dry White Wine is a delightful expression of the Macabeo varietal, hailing from the prestigious Rioja region of Spain. This wine showcases a beautiful pale yellow color with shimmering reflections that invite you to explore its aromatic profile. On the nose, it opens up with refreshing notes of green apple and pear, accompanied by delicate hints of citrus and floral undertones that add complexity. The palate reveals a vibrant acidity, making the wine feel lively and mouthwatering, while the fruit intensity is pronounced but not overpowering, allowing for a balanced tasting experience. It finishes dry and crisp, leaving a clean and invigorating impression that pairs wonderfully with seafood, salads, or simply enjoyed on its own as a refreshing aperitif. Overall, this wine embodies the elegance and heritage of Rioja, promising delightful moments with every sip.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
