Marqués de Nombrevilla Viura

How it looks

Very pale sunshine yellow, almost colourless, with a clear rim.

How it smells

Three words - fresh, fruity and floral. A beautiful ode to summer with hints of orange blossom, sweet grass and elderflower. Crisp green apple cuts through the floral along with underlying tones of white stone fruit like pears and peaches, that could almost be described as fuzzy peaches.

How it tastes

A delightful crisp sensation upon first taste, a strong hit of tart apple, specifically ripe crab apple that softens through a long finish into tones of slightly bitter grape-seed. The apple concedes and allows you to experience some golden fruits, specifically golden apple, peach pit and pear. Finally a splash of pink brings you some faint grapefruit with notes of lychee offering a sweet juiciness. This wine is a perfect example of balanced with a round, slick mouthfeel and bright, sharp acidity that provides tingly gums and a warm palate.

Recommended food pairing

For this young Viura we recommend picking up your favourite southeast Asian dish. We're thinking a coconut curry or a vermicelli noodle bowl.
