Viura

Viura is a white grape variety widely grown in the Rioja region of north-eastern Spain (outside of Rioja it is more commonly known as Macabeo) where it appears commonly as both oaked and un-oaked wines. In its un-oaked form the wines are typically well-suited for relatively early consumption and easy drinking, while the oaked, and often barrel fermented styles of Viura produce richly textured, richly flavoured wines which pair well with a wide range of cuisines.
