2018 CVNE Blanco Seco Monopole Clásico

Fascinating wine. Definitely Viura, but with a twist so that it reminds one of a trocken Riesling. CVNE adds a small amount (5%?) of Manzanilla (Palomino) Sanlúcar de Barrameda, which provides an extra dimension of dryness. Really a brilliant cuvee and very reasonably priced. Gran Reserva editions were produced in 2014 and 2016, yet with an order of magnitude increase in price.

Paired very nicely with shrimp & grits.
