Weekday Wine - 2024 Cueva de Lobos Rioja Blanco Joven

Despite what self-proclaimed wine 'experts' might tell you, Rioja was crafting fantastic wines long before the Romans ever showed up. While the region is legendary for aging Tempranillo dominant reds into oaky masterpieces, its white wines deserve serious spotlight as well. Viura, also known as Macabeo in Catalonia, is the undisputed star here. Traditionally, these crisp whites were aged for decades to unlock deep layers of dried fruit, honeyed richness, and a seductive whisper of smoke.
