Viña Real Blanco Fermentado Barrica

Viña Real Blanco Fermentado Barrica is a white wine produced by theViña Real winery in Laguardia, D.O.Ca. Rioja.

Viña Real is one of the wineries belonging to CVNE (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España) located in Laguardia, Rioja Alavesa. In the 1920s CVNE launched theViña Real brand, being one of the pioneers in the production of wines aged in oak barrels in this area, producing very elegant wines with all the character of the Rioja Alavesa.

The proximity of the vineyards to the old Camino Real was what inspired its name. These vineyards slope down from the Sierra Cantabria to the Ebro basin, lying on mostly clayey and chalky soils, thus being protected from the clearly Atlantic climate of the area by the mountains.

Viña Real Blanco Fermentado Barrica is a white wine made with Viura grapes from vineyards located on clay-chalky soils.

Harvesting is carried out manually, with the grapes being selected in the vineyard. Once they arrive at the cellar they go through cold maceration for 6-8 hours. After a gentle pressing the must goes into new American oak barrels where it ferments for 15-20 days at a temperature ranging from 16 to 20°C. After the fermentation, the wine remains for 6 months with its fine lees, with lee stirring carried out periodically.
