Made for Tesco by Bodegas Agricola Castellana SCL from 100% Verdejo. Verdejo thrives in the local climate with extreme variations between daytime and night-time temperatures, developing an ideal balance of tropical fruit flavours and crisp acidity. Crushed with nine hours skin contact. Fermented in stainless steel with aromatic yeasts at 14°C. Kept sur lie for four months post fermentation with remontage.
Beautifully catty, like brushing up against a blackcurrant bush with snapped twigs. Very savoury, almost salty taste. Would be great with herby antipasti, actually anything fresh and stimulating. 12.5%

I had a glass of the 08 last night. It's an acquired taste which I can't see me acquiring.

Mel will probably say it's too tasty for me.

Have only ever had one Rueda (M. de Riscal), and that had a little Viura in it. Nothing complex, but it did go down a treat. Magic lemonade...
Is this more "serious" (not Sirius of course, can't afford that).
