Product description

Fresh, elegant and full of charm – Kaori Blanco Rioja is not your usual Rioja. Instead of red, here you get a bright and expressive white wine made from Viura grapes, grown in the heart of Rioja.

In the glass it shines with pale straw colour and green highlights. On the nose you’ll find fresh citrus, tropical fruit like pineapple and grapefruit, with delicate floral notes. A touch of spice and soft vanilla from gentle oak ageing adds extra depth.

On the palate it’s crisp and lively with juicy fruit flavours, balanced acidity and a smooth, refreshing finish. This is a modern, stylish white Rioja that feels both easy-drinking and special.

Food pairing

Kaori Blanco was created to match beautifully with Japanese cuisine – think sushi, sashimi or lightly spiced Asian dishes. It’s also a fantastic match for seafood, grilled white fish, chicken, fresh salads and creamy vegetarian dishes.
