2011 Herdade do Esporão Verdelho V

Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 27, 2013 - So yeah. I love verdelho/verdejo as a general rule. Nothing like a great Rueda. And this is nothing like a great Rueda. Very modern (smells like inoculated aromatic yeasts, added acid and cold fermentation), noticeably high ABV on the aroma & palate (nail polish, even, though no VA). Not offensively fruited (green apple, herbs, apricot), but just not delicious and vivacious like I wanted. A good try, but not a re-buy. Maybe the Alentejo is not suited to growing verdelho.
