Saturday, February 17, 2018 - Made from organically grown Verdejo grapes. 13% alcohol, 1 g/l residual sugar, 5,3 g/l acidity. Tasted blind in VV.

Intense lime green color. Pungent, sweaty and unpleasant nose with something sharp and something else reminding me of old popcorn. There might be something off in this bottle? The wine is quite full-bodied and surprisingly bland on the palate with linear and somewhat dilute flavors of lemony citrus fruits, apple blossom and a hint of apple peel bitterness. The wine is moderately high in acidity. The finish is light and mouth-cleansing but also pretty neutral and even tasteless with delicate, onesquare flavors of lemon juice.

Ugh, nope. The nose feels off, but on the palate the wine seems to be ok - if not particularly flavorsome. Well, the wine feels almost flavorless. Doesn't really offer anything of interest. A disappointment and at 11,99€ the wine feels like a rip-off; I've had more interesting wines at half the price.
