Rio Lindo Viura Chardonnay

Winemaker Rio Lindo on the winery

“We make Rio Lindo wines in Spain, using grapes from Castilla-La Mancha, an extensive wine region in the heart of the country. Here, we combine a sunny climate with modern winemaking techniques to create approachable wines full of flavour. We focus on ripe fruit, appealing structure and styles that work well with a wide variety of dishes. By carefully working with different grape varieties, we aim to bring out the best in each one. The result is a range of characterful Spanish wines made to be enjoyed and shared.”

And on La Mancha, Spain

“Our Viura Chardonnay comes from Castilla-La Mancha, where warm days encourage ripe fruit flavours and cooler nights help preserve freshness. We blend Viura, also known as Macabeo, with Chardonnay. Viura contributes lively acidity and fruit, while Chardonnay brings roundness and a fuller texture. After careful harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented at a controlled, low temperature. The wine then spends several months ageing in oak barrels, adding depth and subtle oak notes. On the palate, ripe peach and pineapple are complemented by vanilla and a soft, creamy finish.”
