What The Critics Say
90/100 RobertParker.com, Luis Guttierez
"The 2022 Basa, a blend of Verdejo with 10% Viura, fermented and matured in stainless steel. The warm year delivered aromas of ripe yellow fruit and herbs, pollen and some spices with a smoky twist (from the lees?) and a medium-bodied palate with good ripeness and freshness and moderate alcohol (13%). This was bottled without malolactic and is tasty and balanced. 480,000 bottles were filled in January 2023." Drink 2023 - 2026
92/100 Decanter, David Williams (2021 vintage)
"Prolific and gifted winemaker Rodríguez juggles fascinating projects all over Spain with remarkably consistent results. His Verdejo (with 10% Viura) is brilliantly done, wonderfully clean and pure, and racy, with just enough of the spicy-bitter twist to complement the juicy tropical fruit flavours and lime."
