Luberri Monje Amestoy 'Zuri' Blanco 2022

Composition: Viura & Malvasia | Rioja Alavesa, Spain

Zuri is everything we want in a summer white: bright, crisp, and just serious enough. Made by Florentino Martínez Monje—an old-vine whisperer in Elciego, Rioja Alavesa—this blend of Viura and Malvasia delivers a cool, stony elegance with no oak in sight. Think green apple, white peach, and lemon peel, layered over a subtle undercurrent of sea spray and crushed stones.

Fermented and aged in stainless with daily bâtonnage, it strikes the balance between mineral precision and lees-kissed texture. It's the kind of wine that slips easily from aperitif to dinner—whether that’s grilled shrimp, sautéed mushrooms, or a white pizza with truffle oil. Medium-bodied, dry, and food-loving, Zuri is Rioja Blanco with a fresh point of view.
