2008 Telmo Rodriguez Basa Blanco
2008 Telmo Rodriguez Basa Blanco

|
Normally $25. Beautiful minerally dry white from Rueda in the North of Spain. A classical match with seafood thats so common in that area. A blend of Verdejo and Viura. Basa's winemaker is Telmo Rodriguez, considered by many wine experts to be Spain?s up-and-coming enologist. A few things make him special, notably his dedication to preserving the terroir in wines and believing that winemaking begins in the vineyard. As a result, he chooses indigenous grapes from old vines that produce extremely low yields. He?s also a proponent of biodynamic methods. "Granny smith apple and zesty lime/citrus mark the flavour of this wine, which has a gush of tart acidity and a crystal clean finish. Alcohol is mild, hardly noticeable, yet the wine has surprising body for a light white. If your after that minerally European dry white style this is it. Superb value
