Compania de Vinos Telmo Rodriguez 2017 Basa Blanco (Rueda DO) Spain

Availability: BCLDB stores and private wine shops like Everything Wine
Cost: $19.99 + taxes
Alcohol: 13%
Date Tasted: September 18th, 2019

Tasting Notes: A delightfully crisp'n'fruity blend of Verdejo, Viura and Sauvignon Blanc vinified to near dryness, leaving a touch of residual sugar to add to the body and texture which, otherwise, offers layers of tangy acidity and light, flinty minerality. Look for lemon drop, honeydew and orchard fruit aromas and flavours and pair with your favourite bag of crisps/chips. Drink now-2020.

Les Vins Bonhomme 2012 El Petit Bonhomme Blanco - 87pts

Les Vins Bonhomme 2012 El Petit Bonhomme Blanco (Rueda DO) Spain

Availability: BCLDB stores and private wine shops like Everything Wine
Cost: $14
Alcohol: 13.5%
Production: 2600 cases
Date Tasted: February 25th, 2014

Tasting Notes: A crisp, fruity and vibrant wine made from 100% Verdejo sourced from the Northwest Spanish region of Rueda offering nectarine, peach pit and passion-fruit aromas on the nose and tangy citrus and ripe melon flavours on the mineral-infused palate. Finishes a bit 'hot', though the lingering spicy notes are memorable and help this 'fresh white' stand-out from the crowd. Drink now-2016.
