Malvasia Riojana 'La Pequenita' Alonso & Pedrajo 2018

Alonso & Pedrajo's Malvasia Riojana 'La Pequeñíta' is a macerated white wine produced from majestic 80-year-old vines on the winery's Villalba estate, at an altitude of 640 metres. It is a fine 'orange' that macerates for 4 months in typical 'tinajas' before maturing for 8 months in barriques. Bright yellow in the glass, it has aromas of tropical fruit, dried flowers and light puffs of spice. On the palate, it is structured, tannic but also velvety and harmonious, with a distinct fragrance and good final freshness. A wine with character, from one of Spain's most prestigious regions. Ideal 5 years after bottling, to be uncorked within the year
