Viura is a classic Spanish white grape best known from Rioja, where it often forms the backbone of bright, fragrant wines. The name may be written as “Viura” or “Macabeo” depending on the region, but the character tends to stay true: think fresh orchard fruit, gentle floral notes and a lightly steely edge that gives the wine a clean, refreshing finish.

In the glass, you’ll typically find aromas of pear, apple and lemon zest, sometimes with a subtle toastiness when the wine has seen oak. Viura is quite versatile. Many bottlings are made for everyday drinking, showing crispness and lively acidity, while others are crafted to develop more depth through careful ageing or controlled fermentation.

If you enjoy whites that aren’t overly sweet or heavy, Viura is a fantastic choice. It pairs especially well with chicken, creamy pasta, grilled vegetables and seafood with a touch of citrus. Whether you’re stocking up for casual lunches or looking for something interesting for your next meal, exploring a Viura from the range is a simple way to discover a refreshing side of Spanish winemaking.
