Badiola Las Parcelas Rioja Blanco 2018 Review

This wine is a Rioja blanco from Badiola and labelled as “Las Parcelas”.  Rioja blanco is typically a macabeo dominant blend, called viura locally. This wine from the 2018 vintage is pleasant drinking, though it would be better consumed a little younger. Its aromatics are very saline. The palate is also salty with a medium to full body and lemon characters. This isn’t as serious a Rioja blanco as the recently reviewed Vinos en Voz Costumbres, but equally, it won’t disappoint. Drink it up over the next year. Review Rating: Good (★★★, 87 points). Website: Not obvious. Tasted: June 2026.  Like: Subscribe.
