The Capellanía Rioja Reserva Blanco 2019 from Marqués de Murrieta is an impressive testament to the high art of white Rioja. Vinified exclusively from old-vine Viura grown in the single vineyard of Capellanía at over 450 metres above sea level, this wine unites power, finesse, and remarkable longevity. Following 18 months of maturation in new French oak barriques, the wine reveals a complex and multi-layered nose: ripe yellow fruits, pear, and apricot merge with elegant notes of vanilla, roasted almonds, and delicate smoke. On the palate, it is structured and creamy, showing great depth, seamlessly integrated acidity, and a subtle minerality that imparts freshness and tension. Capellanía 2019 impresses with its long, harmonious finish, radiating both richness and elegance. A characterful white wine with superb ageing potential that pairs magnificently with fish dishes, white meats, or aged cheeses, and is equally rewarding savoured on its own.
