100% Verdejo. Bottled in an obnoxious giant bottle which doesn't fit in racks. Pale gold. When first opened, the nose gave a blast of oakiness usually found in new world Chardonnay. We let this breathe in the glasses for 45 minutes or so before getting into it. The air really helped out as the aromatics took on more of a pineapple note and some floral components. The palate did not match the aromatics here. This showed a medium body with clean, fresh, textured grapefruit and dried herbs. Medium acidity as this is pretty ripe, but certainly enough cut to keep the flab away. Clean finish as well. Put the cork in half the bottle.
Day 2 found a pronounced green pepper/stalkiness on the nose and a bit on the palate. More grapefruit, but much more tart today. The finish is consistently refreshing and clean.

Notes of creamy lemon and subtle pineapple. In the mouth, medium bodied and a nice richness. The wine was nice, but maybe a touch past its peak. Still very nice wine!

I quite like the idea of oaking verdejo, but to me this was a little overdone. Big ripe melon on the nose and a taste of feshy tropical fruits, however the oak dominates a little too much

Excelente como nos vem habituado. Aroma rico, equilibrado em fermentaçao em madeira e em boca um longo prazer.
