Viña Alicia 2008 Tiara White (Luján de Cuyo)

Country: Argentina / Tiara
Variety: White Blend Mendoza Province
Winery: Viña Alicia / Luján de Cuyo

An unusual blend of Riesling, Albariño and Sauvignon Blanc that is largely neutral on the nose and then waxy, honeyed and pithy in the mouth. Along the way there’s an appealing dry, melony, petrol character and some good old-fashioned tang. A breed unto itself.
