Marques de Arviza, Verdejo 'La Mision', 2024

ABOUT THE WINE. Bodegas Marqués de Arviza is a historic family-run winery and the second oldest wine producer in La Rioja, with winemaking facilities dating back to 1874. As one of the region’s most established Rioja producers, they bring generations of expertise to their wines. Bodegas M.A. is their latest project, focused on crafting high-quality Spanish white wines without denomination — offering excellent value while staying true to tradition. This Verdejo white wine is produced in a fresh, fruit-forward style that preserves the grape’s hallmark salinity, vibrant acidity, and aromatic intensity. A brilliant example of how Spain excels at producing crisp, expressive white wines that are both affordable and full of character.. TASTING NOTES. This lively Verdejo delivers bright aromas of tropical fruits, citrus zest, fresh-cut grass, and fragrant fennel. The palate is crisp and zesty, balanced by a subtle phenolic edge that adds structure and depth. The finish is long and persistent, carrying the tropical and herbal notes through to a clean, mouth-watering close.. FOOD PAIRING. Perfect for pairing with seafood — especially crab, scallops, and octopus — where the wine’s freshness lifts and complements the natural sweetness of the dishes. Also excellent with light salads and grilled vegetables.
