Ontañón
Rioja Tempranillo Blanco
La Rioja, Spain
This wine is tinted straw yellow and has a mineral-laden nose which also offers a tropical fruit basket of aromas. Pineapple, mango, lemon, orange and apple all waft up from the glass. The palate shows the minerals up front, with a salinity that runs through the sip. Acidity is decent, if not ripping, and the wine finishes long with savory notes staying afloat to the end. I would love this with peel-and-eat shrimp, but it’s also great with a handful of peanuts.

Pineapple, pear, plum. Dry with good acidity, medium body, no tannins. Yummy and complex, on the sweeter side!
