Tasting notes
The 1995 Viña Gravonia Blanco Crianza is a great way to start the afternoon. It is a captivating wine, with a gorgeous perfumed nose and notes of flowers, peaches, apricots, smoke, spices, minerals and roasted nuts that develop in the glass with soft, supple personality and wonderful length on the palate. At 11 years of age, it appears to be miraculously youthful.

Amber-tinged gold. Deep, nutty , exotic aromas of apricot, poached pear, vanilla and toffee. Rich and weighty, with a hint of acidity perking up the almost caramelized apple, pear and toffee flavors. Finishes on a note of floral honey. I imagine those who require primary fruit in their white wines will find this to be a bit peculiar I 'd serve it with rich fish dishes or pungent cheeses.
