Drank over two days, good crisp tart fruit, nice body and medium acid on finish for food; second day paired with Dover Sole Meuniere and lemon characteristics of wine melded beautifully with the buttery lemon of the fish.

Blind at Auggie's: Light yellow; Light peach, pear, slight tropical note, meyer lemon; fresia flowers, white flowers, stones, rocky chalky; slight cinnamon aspect; dry, medium acidity, mde. alc.; Guessed 2010 Chablis, but body needs to be a bit heavier and acid a little higher in my opinion.

DW and I had this at a restaurant with dinners consisting of Hawaiian white fish. Consumed the bottle over about 90 minutes.
On opening this was very powerful and enjoyable. Strong fruit noses. Crisp and sharp with nice floral notes. Very well balanced. We loved it immediately.
By the end of the meal it had gone flat. The crispness and brightness was gone, replaced by a general light fruit, with an increasingly bitter metallic finish. I left about half of my last glass on the table. Based on the initial taste, I would have ranked this very good, verging toward excellent, but it fell apart so badly I can't rank it any higher than good (82-84). Frankly, disappointing and a waste of money.

This is the second time trying this wine in a tasting environment. This time it was not nearly explosive and no where near the 90 point glass ceiling. The nose was once again super expressive and fruity. The first time in March 2011, the barrel fermentation and lees treatment brought a soft, almost complex wine. This time, the wine seems a little ordinary, and maybe shop worn. This may be an example of why we should drink there fruit forward white wines early. Still credible, but to my palate a little on the bitter side. We normally love Verdejo for it's fruity character, refined mouth feel, and solid finish. I think this wine may be off, or corked. Sorry.

Bright tropical fruit with a bit of minerality. The acid has dropped off a little since I last had this, causing it to feel a little fat on the palate. A good paring with lobster ravioli.

color: barely tinted with a light tinges of yellow-green nose: lively with the scent of sour apple taste: citrus, lime, crisp bright acidity, a little sweet but mostly tart and dry with green apple up front, medium bodied, a long finish that melts into sweetness, almost like drinking a green apple and finishing with a red.

Note: Bottle opened on 2nd of July. Very pale golden yellow. Fresh aromas (flowers, peach, herbs). More body and density than the first day, there are citric flavours on the palate (pineapple, grapefruit) and some greasiness. Unfortunately the wine lacks of depht and its ending is OK but not too long. Anyway, a good wine from Rueda considering its QPR but far away from the top wines of the region.

Aromas of tropical fruits and some green grass. Also some floral action. The flavors really pop on this. Very bright acidity with lychee and star fruit. Crisp and clean, very well made.

Spanish Wine Tasting at Gervais & Vine Columbia, SC: One of the lightest color white wines I have ever seen, this one will fool you. There is a lot going on here. The nose is very floral and has a pronounced honeysuckle aroma that jumps out of the glass, that is mixed with some lemon and other tropical fruit. Considering the color there is a surprisingly strong grapefruit component, that is backed up by some brown spice, and some light crushed almond. There is plenty of acid. There is even a touch of lanolin. Heavier than expected. This would be awesome pool wine.

Citrus and mineral aromas. Great acidity and surprising weight on the palate. Crisp and clean lemon lime flavors. Long dry finish.

Light peach and apple flavors with decent acidity. Lightweight on the palate with a dry finish.

Paired with Gazpacho. Could easily believe this was white Burg. Loads of minerality, good acid. Nice steely nose. Excellent QPR.
