Viura is one of the best-loved white grape varieties from Spain, most famously associated with Rioja. You might also see it labelled under the names Macabeo or Viura, depending on the producer and the region. It’s a grape that’s all about balance, bringing a bright, refreshing character while leaving plenty of room for winemaking styles.

In the glass, Viura wines are often light to medium bodied, with citrus and orchard fruit flavours such as lemon, lime, apple and pear. Depending on whether the wine is aged or kept crisp, you may also find a touch of floral notes, mild spice, or a softer, rounder texture. Many Viura bottlings are made for everyday enjoyment, yet they’re also versatile enough to pair with richer dishes when handled with a bit more care.

If you enjoy whites that aren’t overly heavy, Viura is a fantastic place to start. It works beautifully with seafood, chicken, creamy sauces and salads with a bit of tang. Explore the range to find your preferred style, from fresh and zesty to gently textured and more food friendly.
