The 2012 Tiara is an intriguing blend of 50% Riesling, 40% Albarino and 10% Sauvignon planted at 11,300 vines per hectare. It has a light citrus nose with touches of pink grapefruit and jasmine. The palate is light with lemongrass on the entry. I feel that it would benefit from a little more weight on the finish but still, this is an interesting blend of white grape varieties that just needs to be more expressive. Drink now. Vina Alicia is a small estate located in Lujan de Cuyo where the two vineyards are situated: San Alberto, a high density planting at 11,300 vines per hectare and Vina Alicia itself. It was founded in 1998 by Alicia Mateu Arizu, the wife of Alberto Arizu at Luigi Bosca, and it is now managed by her son, Rodrigo Arizu. He is one of many young winemakers experimenting with different clones in Mendoza. Vina Alicia embraces more “esoteric” varieties for the region, and with some considerable success.Importer: Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel. (866) 57-STARZ
