Viura handled with care can be a wonderful thing. It ripens easily in Spain where the long sunny days give tropical and stone fruit notes to its aromatics. Antonio picks his Viura just at the right time, long before they become overripe. With attention to detail in the winery, Viura grapes at this stage of ripeness can show a slight hint of aniseed, giving it the edge over rival wines when partnering with complexly spiced foods.
