Telmo Rodriguez Basa Rueda Blanco 2009
Rueda, Castilla-Leon, SpainWhat a delicious bottle of white wine. Floral, passion fruit, grapefruit, melon, lime, lees, slate and jalapeno aromas attract you to its fresh, crisp, juicy palate and creamy textures. Grapefruit, mineral, gooseberry, passion fruit, melon rind and green apple flavours with a smoky jalapeno finish. Good juicy style with some finesse. Delicious for current drinking. Finally an up-to-date vintage release and now, wait for it ...under screwcap.
