Free next day delivery when you spend £125
Made to be drunk in its youth, this refreshing Rioja Blanco from Bodegas I. Petralanda with its eyecatching lime-green capsule is made from Tempranillo Blanco. It has a bouquet of daffodil pollen and citrus with lean mineral notes, a touch of Galia melon and a lovely 'vif' lemon verbena, lime peel and green orchard fruit finish.
From Tempranillo Blanco, this white Rioja is made in the 'Joven' or 'young' style and intended for early drinking preferably ‘a la fresca’ (outdoors).
Serve lightly-chilled with grilled fish, seafood or poultry paella or simply as an aperitif.

Bodegas I. Petralanda (Viña Zearra)
In the early 1980s Iñake Petralanda Uria Zearra was finding it difficult to find a reliable source of good wines for his restaurant in Bilbao, so he decided to make his own. Establishing a winery in his wife's home town of Fuenmajor in the heart of Rioja Alta in 1983, he hasn't looked back and now runs a thriving bodega. The family divide their offerings under two labels: Viña Zearra for young and crianza wine and Marqués de Zearra for Reserva and Gran Reservas.
