"Very disappointing. It was thin, acidic and nothing like other white rioja I have tried.
Nothing like the quality of other Wine Society wines."

"I haven't sampled many white Rioja's, so have little to compare.
However, based on likeability I would say this is a gentle, fresh white wine that is pleasant to drink with or without food. To me it has a nice soft end, with a pleasant autumn nuttiness . I like the delicate oak nuance as it's not too over powering but still there.
It isn't a wine that lingers and it doesn't have any strong tropical fruity tones. Just a nice, easy drinking, well priced white that would probably appeal to many easy going white wine drinkers!
Although this would not be on my dinner party list, it would make it onto my Wine Wednesday list!

"An excellent wine - soft peachy oaky undertones. Great with cold meats and prawn cocktail. Highly drinkable, might have to open another bottle!"

"Pleasant rather than outstanding. For me the oak actually detracts and clouds the fruitiness of the wine.
Very round compared with other white Rioja I have tasted.
I don't think I would re-order this wine."

"While I might argue with the "deep gold colour" (it seems much lighter than that to me), there is absolutely nothing else I'd quibble with. Lovely wine with good flavours and length. I've just had this to accompany seafood risotto and it matched perfectly (and was a great support while I was cooking it). If it's this good in December, I expect it will be even better on a hot summer's day. Will definitely order again."

"This a delectable white Rioja. It's exactly what you'd want from a society bottle: the cost to quality ratio is pointing in just the right direction. It's got lovely nutty, oaky aromas and drinks very cleanly. I think it's a little more oaky than 'light' but that's no problem for me and it's by no means overbearing. At £8.95 it's a very reasonable price and I'd be happy to give it 4.5 / 5. Will be ordering more (both for drinking on its own and with food pairings). "

"Not what I was expecting. Advertised as "deep gold in colour". Not the bottle I tried. Pale and insipid. I agree with what other members have said who did not like this wine. Would not buy again"

"Golden colour in the glass, there's not much on the nose so it has a light intensity with aromas of citrus and light oak. The palate is more medium with flavours of citrus, honey, butter and vanilla. It reminds me of an oaked Chardonnay.
Acidity is low with a medium(-) finish. The white Rioja I tried before had put me off trying again. This hasn't.

"Bright but with a nutty, creamy core. The oak sits in the mix beautifully. Yes, there's hardly any fruitiness, but it's white Rioja, what do you expect?!"

"Too simple, get bored before reached half bottle. Overall it is a good wine, but if you have something to compare you will conclude that this is quite average."
