Description:
Bodegas Luis Caas has been at the heart of Rioja since 1928 though the contemporary story begins in 1970 when Luis Caas became the first Rioja Alavesa winemaker to bottle his young wine rather than sell it in bulk. Situated in Villabuena, Luis Caas utilise their knowledge of the local climate, terroir, cultivation methods and a real sense of pride and dedication to create these unique wines; every harvest Luis Caas, now 86, stands at the head of the selection table keenly ensuring only the best parcels of grapes are used. The end result is wine consistently packed with fruit and wrapped in a silky, oak laced layer of flavour that seems unique to Rioja: truly world class.
Tasting Note: On nose it is elegant with flowers, fruits and hazelnuts and is fresh, zesty and full of minerality with notes of citrus and apple. The palate is dry with just enough acidity to keep it fresh and lively with a structured and flavoursome finish of ripe fruit.
Food Match:A refreshing drink on its own but is a beautiful accompaniment to most seafood and shellfish, white meat and risotto. a versatile white Rioja.
