Bodegas Ondarre 'Valdebarón Blanco' Rioja 2023

"Penetra is the one who goes to a party uninvited. And who, by chance or mastery, becomes the king of the party. He is the ice breaker, makes good moments last, has deep conversations, and fills the crowds with joy to become the King of the Party that is in all of us."

- Winemaker Mauro Azóia

Varietal:  100% Castelão grown in southern Portugal near Lisboa.

-

Tasting Notes: Ruby color in the glass with a nose that offers inviting aromas of ripe red berries, including strawberry and raspberry, complemented by a subtle hint of black pepper. The palate reveals a medium body with smooth, balanced flavors of fresh fruit and a touch of earthy, herbal notes. Its lively acidity and soft tannins lead to a clean, bright finish.
