The world of wine mirrors life—constantly evolving, with trends that rise, fade, and return anew. After decades dominated by international varieties, there’s a renewed appreciation for native grapes—especially the rare and distinctive. Nivarius is a perfect expression of this revival, crafted from Tempranillo Blanco, a white mutation of Spain’s noble red grape that was nearly lost to history.
Thanks to the dedication of the Palacios team, this once-endangered Rioja variety is now being brought back to life. Nivarius is the only winery known to focus exclusively on White Rioja, making it a true pioneer. It’s been on our shelves at Fine Wine for a few years now, this latest release offers you the chance to experience something both rare and remarkable—don’t miss it.
