The white wine Murua Fermentado en Barrica Blanco Rioja DOCa, vintage 2017 from the winery Bodegas Murua has been rated in 2019 by Ulrich Sautter with 92 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Macabeo, Malvasia, Garnacha Blanca from the region La Rioja in Spain.
Spicy new oak character on the nose, and a bouquet of early aromatic development, with lime blossom, aniseed, some peppery notes, kumquat, orange confit and limestone. Silky opening on the palate, finely woven, rich but not broad, seemingly "cool" and concentrated, with a well-integrated acidity, and a complex spiciness on the finish that comes not only from the oak. It has some minerality in the background and very good length. It is more like poultry than fish.

Silky on the palate, finely woven, full-bodied but not broad, appears "cool" and focused, well-integrated acidity, complex finish savouriness, which is not only due to the wood. Mineral base, very good length. Rather with poultry than fish.
