Shaya, Verdejo "Old Vines" Rueda 2008

Platinum.

Bright, lifted nose that could very easily be mistaken for NZ SB - kiwi, cat piss/gooseberry, grapefruit zest, "mineral". But this is riper, deeper.

Ditto in the mouth. Great depth of fruit and opposing mineral cut. Another wine with a sugar/acid cage match. Better as the wine warms in the glass. FK.

Day 3 - Still hammering the glands. The Shaya that shagged me?

$14.
