Viura

Viura, also widely known as Macabeo, is the most iconic and widely planted white grape variety in the Rioja Qualified Designation of Origin. It is an extremely versatile grape that excels both in the production of young, fresh wines and in long-aged whites, as well as forming the traditional base of Catalan cava.

- Types:

Young whites: Fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve as much freshness and primary fruit aromas as possible. Aged wines: Viura has an extraordinary aging capacity. Traditionally in Rioja, it is aged in oak barrels, developing enormous complexity with notes of vanilla, nuts, and honey. Cavas: In Catalonia, it is known as Macabeo and forms the traditional coupage alongside the Xarel·lo and Parellada varieties, adding structure and liveliness to the sparkling wine.

• Productive and hardy: It is a high-yielding variety with excellent adaptation to different soil types and climatic conditions.
• Aromatic profile: It presents subtle and delicate aromas reminiscent of white flowers, green apple, pear, and citrus notes.
• Balance on the palate: Produces wines with balanced acidity and medium body, with a clean and lively finish.
