2017 Remirez de Ganuza 'Olagar' Gran Reserva Rioja DOCa, Spain

Sourced from a 1.45-hectare parcel that escaped the devastating frost of 2017, Olagar is a high-altitude Viura that is among the best whites in Spain. Comfortably handling its new French oak, it has chalky intensity, a subtle struck match top note, beeswax, citrus zest and tangerine flavours, a hint of fennel and salted almonds and a lingering finish.
