Lopez de Haro Rioja Blanco

This white has just enough body to stand up to a creamy risotto without overwhelming the dish. The ripe peach and date flavors are more mellow than sweet, which makes it incredibly easy to drink. A solid choice for cooler evenings when you want something a little richer than a typical Sauvignon Blan

The peach and glazed pineapple notes really come through, giving it a ripe, almost dessert-like feel without being sweet. Paired it with a butternut squash risotto and the medium body held up perfectly. A solid go-to for cooler evenings.

Opened this on a chilly evening and it was exactly what the night called for. That glazed pineapple note carries through beautifully, and it paired surprisingly well with a butternut squash risotto without overpowering it.
