Urbina Blanco Rioja, a white Rioja, is made from 100% Viura grapes in the north-western part of La Rioja Alta.
Bodegas Urbina is a small, traditional and family-owned Rioja wine estate. This single estate is located in Cuzcurrita de Rio Tiron on the north-western boundary of DOC Rioja. Urbina has 75 hectares of vineyards at two main vineyard sites – the first site is at Cuzcurrita de Rio Turon, an area well-known for producing Riojas capable of ageing for many years, ideal for Gran Reserva Rioja. The other vineyards are located at Uruñuela, in the heart of the Rioja DOC, which consistently produces wines of great quality and body.
In 1976, the family made the decision to bottle and age all the wine themselves, rather than selling grapes to other wine producers, and the single estate Bodegas Urbina was created. For four generations, the Urbina family has dedicated itself to producing Rioja wines and, following in their father’s footsteps, today the winery remains family-owned and is run by the fourth generation, Angel, Pedro and Santiago.
Bodegas Urbina produces 300,000 bottles of red Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva. These classic, elegant and stylish red Rioja wines have more recently been joined by a white Crianza, a white Reserva and a new sparkling wine called Valle del Angel Vintage Sparkling, made from old vine Viura using the ‘Traditional Method’ (Champenoise). All of these fantastic Urbina wines are available to buy now at Fareham Wine Cellar.
Urbina Rioja Blanco is a pale golden yellow colour and has an aromatic, floral nose (acacia) with white fruit and citrus notes. The palate has flavours of apricot, peach and some pear notes. with a subtle, elegant, slightly creamy and lingering finish.
