Bodegas Corral – Don Jacobo Rioja Blanco

Don Jacobo Rioja Blanco is an expressive Spanish white wine that delights with its freshness, elegance and fruit-driven character. It displays a bright, pale yellow colour with delicate greenish reflections. On the nose, it reveals inviting aromas of pear and apple, complemented by subtle citrus notes and a delicate floral background. The palate is lively and balanced, with refreshing acidity, juicy fruit flavours and an elegant, pleasantly lingering finish.

The blend brings together Viura, a traditional Rioja grape variety, with the distinctive white varieties Maturana Blanca and Garnacha Blanca. Temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks helps preserve the delicate fruit and floral aromas, giving the wine its clean and refreshing style. The current version is not aged in oak barrels, allowing the natural character of the grapes to take centre stage.

Behind this wine is a historic winery in Navarrete, in the Rioja Alta, whose heritage is closely connected to the Camino de Santiago. Its location in one of Spain’s best-known wine regions, combined with regional winemaking traditions and modern cellar techniques, shapes the character of its wines. Rioja Alta is renowned for its varied soils and climatic influences, which contribute to the production of elegant and well-balanced wines.

For the best experience, serve this white wine chilled at 7–9 °C. It pairs beautifully with fish, seafood, grilled vegetables and light rice dishes. It is also an excellent match for salads and tapas, or can be enjoyed as a refreshing aperitif. A versatile Rioja Blanco for relaxed occasions and lovers of fresh Spanish white wines.
