{"title":"Bodega El Meson","description":"The Spanish winery Bodega El Meson is located in the renowned Rioja region, specifically in the La Rioja Alavesa area. The winery\u0026#39;s vineyards lie near the Ebro River and are characterized by calcareous and clay soils. The closer one gets to the river, the more the soils consist of alluvial deposits and gravel. The Atlantic climate is characterized by fresh mountain air and abundant sunshine, resulting in warm days and cool nights, providing optimal conditions. Bodega El Meson cultivates grape varieties such as Granacha, Tempranillo, and Viura for its wines.","products":[{"product_id":"el-meson-rioja-blanco-doca","title":"El Meson Rioja Blanco DOCa","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn uncomplicated Rioja Blanco made from the Viura grape – fresh, dry and just right for warm days or a quick evening on the balcony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBodega El Meson\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the established wineries of Rioja Alta and relies on the region\u0026#39;s classic house grape for its white wine: Viura, also known as Macabeo, is vinified here young and without oak aging – a style that emphasizes the natural freshness of the grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, the Blanco displays a pale straw yellow.
