Good intensity on the nose; citrus and stone fruit aromas accompanied by a splendid, expressive mouthfeel which highlights the creaminess and volume provided by the clay soils to perfection, combined with the freshness and suppleness provided by the sand - the second most important component.
"Nivarius" is a Latin term that defines the natural well where the snow was kept all year round.
Nivarius is a 100% Tempranillo Blanco from vineyards in Albelda de Iregua and Montes de Clavijo, at an elevation of over 700 meters. This results in a fresh, unctuous and perfectly ripe wine that is both lively and pleasant to drink.
Aged on fermentation lees for four months in steel tanks and French oak barrels where the lees are stirred three times a week to give the wine more broadness on the palate.
