2021 Bodegas Hermanos Pecina Rioja Senorio de P. Pecina Cosecha Blanco

The 2021 Señorío de P. Peciña Cosecha Blanco from Bodegas Hermanos Peciña is a testament to the winery's dedication to traditional Rioja winemaking. Crafted exclusively from Viura grapes sourced from the esteemed vineyards of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, this wine embodies the freshness and vibrancy characteristic of the 2021 vintage. The grapes undergo meticulous destemming and a 24-hour maceration in stainless steel tanks, followed by fermentation with native yeasts and a minimum of six months aging on lees. This process enhances the wine's complexity and mouthfeel, resulting in a dry, medium-bodied white with a harmonious balance of fruit and acidity. With an alcohol content of 12%, it reflects the cooler conditions of the vintage, offering a refreshing and elegant profile. 

Nose
The aromatic profile is dominated by zesty lemon and green apple, complemented by subtle notes of fennel and freshly cut hay, indicative of its Viura heritage.

Palate
On the palate, it presents a lively acidity with flavors of citrus fruits, particularly lemon, intertwined with hints of green herbs and a touch of minerality, leading to a clean and vibrant tasting experience.

Finish
The finish is crisp and persistent, leaving a pleasant citrus zest and mineral aftertaste that invites another sip.

Grilled Seafood: The wine's bright acidity and citrus notes make it an excellent companion to grilled fish, such as sea bass or sardines, enhancing the natural flavors of the seafood.

Spanish Tapas: Pairs beautifully with a variety of tapas, including garlic shrimp (gambas al ajillo), fried calamari, or marinated olives, complementing the diverse flavors of these dishes.

Fresh Salads: Ideal alongside salads featuring ingredients like goat cheese, citrus fruits, and vinaigrette dressings, where the wine's freshness mirrors the salad's vibrant components.

Soft Cheeses: Enjoy with soft cheeses such as Manchego or Brie, where the wine's acidity balances the creaminess of the cheese, creating a harmonious pairing.
