Posada del Rey Blanco

We have worked with Javier Murúa and his father, Julián, at their Bodegas Real Compañía de Vinos cellar in Rioja, for some years now. We've always been impressed with their wines – you might be familiar with their great Barón de Barbón selection. Thanks to his easy charm Javier also has a talent for finding outstanding parcels of grapes or wine that ‘need a home’ – not just from Rioja, but from all over Spain. Their Posada del Rey Blanco combines the zesty lime flavours of Rueda’s Verdejo with the melon and honeysuckle aromas of La Mancha’s Viura, and a touch of creamy richness from Rioja’s Malvasia. Lovely on its own, it's great, too, with Spanish-style marinated sardines and other tapas dishes, lemon chicken or sauced fish.
