Entresierras 2023 is an ambitious and complex white Rioja from Viña Salceda's exclusive Parajes series. The wine combines old Viura vines from Sonsierra and Alto Najerilla with a small proportion of Tempranillo Blanco, showcasing a completely different and more serious side of white Rioja.
The result is an intense, elegant, and mineral-driven white wine with both body, freshness, and impressive length. A wine created to be enjoyed now and to develop further in the bottle.
Viña Salceda was founded in 1969 in Elciego in Rioja Alavesa and has been part of Rioja's wine history for more than half a century. In recent years, the house has placed even greater focus on individual vineyards, origin, and terroir.
The Parajes series represents this new direction. It involves working with specially selected areas and plots to create wines that more accurately reflect the different facets of Rioja. Entresierras is the series' great white wine.
The name Entresierras – "between the mountains" – refers to the landscape between the Sierra Cantabria to the north and the Sierra de la Demanda to the south.
The grapes come from both Sonsierra and Alto Najerilla. Sonsierra contributes especially with old Viura vines from calcareous and relatively lean soils, which provide structure, body, and a distinct mineral character.
Alto Najerilla, in turn, adds tension, acidity, and freshness. The combination of the two areas is the very idea behind Entresierras, resulting in a wine that possesses both power and precision.
Entresierras 2023 consists of 92% Viura, 7% Tempranillo Blanco, and 1% other white grape varieties. The grapes are harvested from different plots and at different times, so each grape and each area can be picked at optimal maturity.
Vinification takes place separately, and the wine is aged for about 12 months on the fine lees in various vessels, including oak barrels, larger foudres, and concrete. The use of different vessels adds complexity and texture without allowing the oak to dominate the wine’s fruit and minerality.
On the nose, Entresierras is complex and nuanced with aromas of peach, white fruit, herbs, and floral tones combined with subtle spicy and creamy nuances. Beneath the fruit lies a marked mineral character with associations of chalk and stone.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated with a lovely texture, yet simultaneously lifted by a vibrant acidity. There is both ripe fruit, freshness, and a slightly salty mineral character. The finish is long, elegant, and lightly spiced.
This is a gastronomic white wine that can easily accompany richer dishes than many classic white wines. Try it, for instance, with grilled or roasted fish, shellfish, lobster, light meats, poultry, risotto, mushrooms, or dishes with creamy sauces.
Serve the wine at 10–12 °C. It should not be served ice-cold, as a slightly higher temperature allows room for the wine's complexity and structure. A short aeration in the glass or decanter will also benefit the young 2023 vintage.
Yes. Entresierras is a white D.O.Ca. Rioja based mainly on the classic Rioja grape Viura, supplemented with Tempranillo Blanco and a small share of other white varieties.
The 2023 vintage consists of 92% Viura, 7% Tempranillo Blanco, and 1% other white grape varieties.
Viña Salceda Entresierras 2023 has been awarded 94 points by Robert Parker / Wine Advocate.
Yes. The combination of concentration, acidity, structure, and 12 months of aging makes Entresierras a white Rioja with clear aging potential. At the same time, it is perfectly enjoyable now.
The wine pairs particularly well with fish and shellfish, grilled fish, lobster, poultry, risotto, mushrooms, creamy sauces, and other somewhat more flavorful dishes.
