The wine displays a bright, pale gold color in the glass. On the nose there are floral notes with hints of orange peal and lemon zest. On the palate the wine is dry medium bodied with mouth-watering acidity. The flavors have hints of lemon zest. The finish is clean and offers a lingering sense of the lemon zest and the tartness of a pineapple core. Serve Chilled between 45F to 50F.
Wine & Food: Cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, Mild Cheddar, Colby. Virtually all salads including chicken, pasta, seafood or even Fresh fruit. Fresh Seafood and Fish dishes. Use fresh herbs to accent your dishes.

Producer's Comments About Kenn's Tasting Notes:
Dear Mr. Kenn Pogash,
We would like to thank you for your review and tasting notes for Bodegas Franco-Espanolas' Royal 2010 100% Viura. I have passed on your notes to our winemaker, Carlos Estecha and he is happy with your comments. Just wanted to let you know a little about that wine's vinification process: it is cold fermented at an average temperature of 16ºC which makes it fruitier than other Viuras from Rioja that have more of an herbal character. Cold fermentation allows us to produce a more crisp and citrus fruit wine than your typical young Rioja Viuras from other porducers vinified in the traditional manner.
Thanks again for your tasting notes and interest...
