Santa Cruz de Alpera Verdejo 2010

Almansa, Castilla-La Mancha, SpainAvoiding the heat is key to getting the Alpera blanco fresh and clean. The fruit is night harvested and fermented cool. The attack is fresh and crisp with super bright acidity on the mid-palate and finish. Look for a big citrus hit on the front of the palate with bits of guava and melon fruit throughout. Should be well suited to mussels. Good value.Tasted: 15 August 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
