The wine
Finca La Emperatriz Gran Vino Blanco is an expressive wine, with great freshness and a long and persistent finish. The oak, perfectly integrated, accompanies a vintage suitable for white wines.
This wine in its first vintage 2016 already comes under the new Rioja category of Viñedo Singular, the highest quality category in Rioja, backed by the rigorous requirements of the Regulatory Councils (a single plot, yields below 6600kg, and with a result tasting excellent)
