If you think white Rioja means heavy, oaky wine, let me pour you a glass of this. Tentenublo Blanco is one of my favourite discoveries from Rioja Alavesa: crisp, smoky and full of character, and it always gets people talking.
Roberto Oliván makes it from old vines, many over 60 years, around his home village of Viñaspre, high in the foothills of the Sierra de Cantabria. It’s mostly Viura with Malvasía Riojana and a little of the old local Jaén Blanca, all from small plots on chalky marl. Production is tiny and every bottle is numbered by hand.
In the glass it’s a pale straw gold. The nose is all gunflint and smoke, with pear, white stone fruit and a little citrus peel. The palate is light on its feet but surprisingly intense, with a firm, textured middle, a lovely mineral streak and a brisk, salty finish.
Perfect with grilled fish, clams a la marinera, a seafood rice or a plate of jamón and croquetas. Don’t serve it too cold or you’ll miss half the fun.
