Martinsancho, Verdejo, Rueda (Spain) 2007

Straw/yellow.

Slightly pungent nose - similar to NZ SB - but here we get more ripe fruit and less herb action. Grapefruit zest, nectarine/ peach aromas.

Lean entry brightened by a medley of fruit flavors mirroring nose. "Mineral" feel cuts through it all. Long, chewy and bright, with no fat whatsoever.
