New to Cellars this week is this 100% Verdejo from Rueda. This winery focuses mainly on Ribera del Duero wines and this white is new to their portfolio. In fact we have stocked their Joven for the last few years so I was looking forward to trying this. Rueda is just south west of Ribera with the Duero river flowing into it.It is a relatively new DO, only receiving it's status in 1980. An area that is famous for it's white wines with Verdejo being the most widely planted variety although Sauvignon blanc and Viura are also quite common.
Opened it for tasting in Blanchardstown last sunny Friday and it walked out of the shop. Pale gold with green flecks and a very aromatic nose; full of pears and apples. Tingly fresh on the palate with tropical fruit flvours and red apples. Clean and crisp with great finish. Try with chicken salad, crab, prawns or any shell fish. Only €12.99 and "My Choice of the Week"
Till Next Time
