One of Spain's most delicious and underrated white wines is White Rioja. The Sierra de Toloño Rioja Blanco 2022 is arguably the best White Rioja in Australia under $40. Produced by one of the most talented winemaker's in Europe, Sandra Bravo, with her winery now classified in 2023 as First Growth status in Spain sitting comfortably alongside its biggest names. This absolutely sings. Its bright, textured and beautifully aromatic. The palate shows incredibly freshness and vitality, medium bodied with citric and white floral characters alongside a gentle mineral finish. A blend of predominantly Viura with some Calagraño and Rojal.
''Aromas recall juicy orchard fruit with just a hint of the tropics, while lemon zest puts in an appearance on the round, leesy palate.'' 92 Points, International Wine Review
''Medium-bodied, fresh, vibrant and tasty. Great value. Pure and fresh, with a floral touch and a tasty finish." 92 Points, Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate Magazine (Previous Vintage Review)
"The primary aromas of white flowers give way to an elegant and complex background, with subtle toasted notes. In the mouth it is enveloping and silky, with a powerful acidity that allows a long-lasting aftertaste.'' 92 Points, Tim Atkin, MW (Previous Vintage Review)
