Producer Information: Bodegas de la Marquesa Valserrano
Bodegas de la Marquesa Valserrano, rooted in the heart of Rioja Alavesa in Villabuena de Álava, traces its origins to 1880 when Francisco Javier Solano y Eulate established the estate amidst the region’s rolling vineyards. The family’s deep connection to their land shapes a philosophy centered on sustainable viticulture and meticulous vineyard selection, with a focus on expressing the unique terroir of Rioja Alavesa through traditional methods such as manual harvesting and aging in French and American oak barrels. Beyond their flagship Valserrano Reserva, they craft limited-production single-vineyard wines like Finca Monteviejo and Gran Reserva, each reflecting distinct microclimates within their estate holdings. Their portfolio also includes elegant white wines from Viura and Malvasía grapes as well as rosados that highlight the freshness typical of high-altitude Rioja vineyards.

Relaunched in 2014 after a gap of 35 years, this highly unusual white is aged in Sherry casks of 300 to 500 litres and blended with 5% Manzanilla. (I’ve no idea how CVNE get this. Floral, saline and refreshing, it’s a zesty, yeasty, excitingly complex reinterpretation of an historic wine. 2018-21.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The second vintage of the recovered traditional white, the 2015 Monopole Clásico is Viura with a good dollop of Manzanilla Sherry from Sanlúcar that adds biological notes and hints of nuts and spices. 2015 is the best vintage in recent years, with good quality and quantity, quite homogeneous wines from an early harvest. This wine matured in well-seasoned, neutral 300-, 400- and 500-liter oak barrels for eight months and was then blended with the Manzanilla. This is the way Monopole was always produced decades ago. CVNE's classical winemaker, Ezequiel García "El Brujo," died in August 2017, and they added a black band on a corner of the label as an homage to him. It's quite lean and at first you don't notice the biological aromas much; in wines like this that character tends to grow with time in bottle, and it does appear with time in the glass as the wine breathes. It's subtle and with some sharpness and chalky sensations on the palate, very tasty and long.
White Rioja is a distinctive white wine hailing from the Rioja region in Spain, primarily crafted from grape varieties such as Viura (Macabeo), Malvasía, and Garnacha Blanca. Known for its crisp acidity and medium to full body, this wine showcases a vibrant flavor profile that includes citrus, green apple, stone fruit, and occasionally tropical notes. The aromas are equally captivating, featuring floral notes of white flowers, citrus zest, green herbs, and sometimes nutty or oxidative characteristics.
The texture of White Rioja can vary significantly based on vinification techniques; it may be light and refreshing or rich and creamy if malolactic fermentation is employed. Typically aged in stainless steel or oak barrels for several months to years, these wines pair beautifully with grilled fish, seafood paella, chicken dishes with creamy sauces, vegetable risottos, and tapas featuring olives or cheeses. For optimal enjoyment, serve chilled at 8-10°C (46-50°F), making it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and formal dining occasions.
