Telmo Rodriguez Basa Rueda Blanco 2011
Rueda, Castilla-Leon, SpainRueda remains undervalued as a producer of fresh white wine and Rodriguez chose to build Basa or basement/ foundation with this wine. The nose is fresh and bright with gooseberry, passion fruit, melon flecked with light asparagus aromas. The attack is ripe with juicy rich grapefruit, passion fruit, lime, gooseberry, grassy flavours. Good fruit and viscosity with length and complexity.
