The Casa La Rad wines are made from their most valuable vineyard, the La Rad vineyard, with vines older than 35 years of age. The grapes are handpicked and carefully selected before spending 14 months in new French oak barrels and aged on its lees. This wine has an appealing mid-body that shows fresh and vibrant aromas of white peach, citrus, white flowers with mineral notes. Elegant and well balanced with a creamy texture. A gorgeous white from Rioja - a must try!
Wine Press Ratings
90 Points - Tim Atkin MW (2018 Vintage)
"One of the few whites in Rioja that's dominated by Chardonnay, with 30% Viura and 10% Malvasía for company, this is a deftly wooded Rioja Oriental blend showing grapefruit, pear and passion fruit flavours and appealing mid-palate texture from lees ageing. 2023-26"
