Best Rioja white wine
22-12-2021
Bodega Rioja Vega wins two 'Master of Rioja' awards and a Gold Medal at the Rioja Masters 2021 contest organized by the prestigious British magazine 'The Drinks Business', one of the most influential publications in the wine sector.
Rioja Vega Tempranillo Blanco Reserva 2018 stands out for being the only white wine from Rioja to be selected on the list of 'the best 10 Rioja wines' in addition to receiving recognitions as a 'Master of Rioja'. What makes it the best white wine in Rioja? This wine tells the story of our trust in a little-known grape variety, Tempranillo Blanco. A wine that requires patience and time to show all it can provide. A wine with a long and promising future.
Rioja Vega Gran Reserva 2011 wins the other 'Master of Rioja' award at the contest. A wine made only on vintages that Rioja Vega considers to be excellent. A careful blend of three grape varieties, true to the tradition and style that Rioja shows in these wines, as one could expect from a centenary winery as is Rioja Vega, established in 1882.
Rioja Vega Reserva 2017 wins a Gold Medal. A classic revisited. This Reserva is a rather modern approach to what one expects from this category. Opulent, velvety smooth and well balanced on the palate, with an excellent tannic structure. Expressive, persistent and with a solid backbone.
