Flavour Profile

Tasting Notes...

The Fos winery is situated in Finca Vialba, Elciego in Rioja Alavesa. Nestled in between the Cantabrian Mountains and the Ebro River which gives this area a unique microclimate ideal for producing top quality Tempranillo. It benefits from a cooling effect from the Atlantic around 50 miles away. Vines are planted in a 20 hectare Vineyard surrounding the winery. All vines are 25 to 70 years old. Grapes and hand harvested, sorted and destemmed. Zuriena is Fos' Signature white wine. Don't be fooled by the generico green label. Like many several up-coming wineries, Fos have rejected the DOC's rules as they feel they are holding them back from producing wines of high quality and exploiting some of the new classifications such as single vineyard Tempranillo. Also Experimenting with Amphorae and Oak casks of 500L rather than the limiting 225 Litre size. The vines are 60 years old using the traditional viticulture method of Corrillos, that consists with Viura being grown along side red varietals. The grapes are hand harvested. This wine was aged for 5 months on lees in egg shaped concrete amphorae and 9 months in French oak barrels. The resulting wine has a very high intensity nose with notes of fresh herbs citrus and tropical fruit.The palate has volume balance and fine structure. The finish is long with peaks of salt and creamy oak.

Our Alternative Wines

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes...

There is no doubt that this beautifully balanced and aromatic wine lives up to its reputation with an intensely flavoured, distinctive varietal character.

An ideal alternative for Sancerre and Pouilly FumÌ© fans, this wine gives a little more in bouquet and palate. The pale, straw-coloured Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc glints with green, and is enticingly fragrant with lifted elderflower notes, tropical aromas of ripe peach, passion fruit, mango and citrus with hints of fennel and a touch of Pastis. The palate is ripe, fine and succulent, offering zesty ripe citrus flavours coupled with an edge of minerality and sweet herbs. A small barrel ferment component gives balancing flesh to the wine‰Ûªs crisp refreshing acidity
