Product Notes

Castillo Clavijo Rioja Barrel Fermented Viura is a top-quality Spanish white wine that is produced from 100% Viura grapes. Viura is a native white grape variety of Rioja and is known for producing elegant and structured white wines. The grapes for this wine are hand-harvested and undergo a process of barrel fermentation in French oak barrels. This gives the wine a full-bodied, complex and creamy texture with soft aromas of vanilla, almond and white flowers, accompanied by flavors of ripe fruit, balanced acidity, and a long and persistent finish. This wine pairs perfectly with seafood and shellfish dishes, as well as appetizers and light cream-based sauces.

Tasting Notes

Soft lemon and peach fruit on the nose and a crisp palate with more ripe citrus and peach flavours, and a subtle hint of fresh white flowers.

About the Winery

Castillo Clavijo

Surrounded by mountains, rivers, valleys and castles all around, the Castillo Clavijo winery, located in the heart of Doca Rioja, is a sight to behold, indeed! This place is ideal for growing grapes because it is blessed with the perfect mix of Mediterranean and Atlantic climatic conditions. The majority of the vineyards from where the grapes are sourced for this region are located in the three distinct areas of DOC Rioja namely, Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Baja.

The soil quality and the terroir in these regions are perfect for growing many native grape varietals including the famous Tempranillo. Apart from these, some other varietals that you can see all along the 550 hectares of this group's vineyards are Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo in the red categories & Viura, Malvasia and Garnacha in the white categories.

The barrel-aged Castillo Clavijo wines crafted at the winery will give you an exact representation of the rich wine history of the Rioja region. To tap the potential of the Rioja area to the maximum possible extent, Bodegas Castillo Clavijo has signed an agreement with 500 small winegrowers in the area. This deal helped them explore the various terroirs and soils of the Rioja area and plant the right varietals. This is the main reason why the grapes reflect the true character and heritage of the terroirs in this region.

The range of aged wines from Castillo Clavijo include:

  • Crianza – made from 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha
  • Reserva – made from 80% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha and 10% Mazuelo
  • Gran Reserva – made from 75% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo
