Ratings & Reviews

91+ Points - Daily Grape:
"On the sniffy sniff, I get a wonderful explosive white candy meets anis meets licorice meets pear-puree and I'm really falling in love with it. On the palate, it shows more density and fruit than a lot of wines in its category. Really quite impressive." - Gary Vaynerchuk

90 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar:
Bright gold.  Pungent, lees-accented aromas of lemon rind, nectarine, anise and white flowers.  Supple, juicy and penetrating, with very good depth to the citrus zest and pit fruit flavors.  At once tactile and lithe.  Vibrant and well-delineated on the finish, with the anise note echoing.

Robert Parker's
Wine Advocate:
"Bodega Finca Nueva’s 2009 Blanco is a blend of 70% Viura and 30% Malvasia sourced from old vines. It was fermented and aged in French oak for 3 months. Aromas of white flowers, mineral, melon, and baking spices inform the nose of this concentrated, flavorful, smooth-textured white. Nicely proportioned and moderately lengthy, it will deliver enjoyment for another 2-3 years." - Jay Miller (June 2011)

Sturdy August 31, 2011
Reviewer: Neil Mitchell from Sunnyvale, CA United States  
The best way to describe this Rioja Blanco is Sturdy.

Carries a nice tight grained oak as part of its being, not its outward attitude. Bright acidity combines with gentle white floral and residual sugar to provide a smooth round taste and mouthfeel. It does not appear that the wine went through a malo-lactic fermentation (Butter).

Food pairing... Im thinking something like grapefruit and endive salad, Tilapia with a light and  fresh mango salsa... lightly smoked pork or something with a smoked sea salt might be interesting

I agree that the wine will hold and drink well over the next two - three years

Very nice.
