Name: Tierras Guindas Rueda
Variety: Verdejo
Region: Rueda
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $13.95 (Vintage Cellar)

Shop Review:
Sweet notes of ripe fruit, with good intensity are distinguished in this white wine from Rueda. Roses, apple, pear. Also crisp aromas of fresh hay are perceived. On the palate it is dry but with great softness in its passage. Aroma not reminiscent of fruits and flowers. Something mineral. The end in the mouth is resounding and full-bodied.



My Review:
I found this wine to be very floral, but also having a sweet side on the nose. Not necessarily of fruits, as the shop review notes, but more of just a slight hint of sugar on the flower petals. On the palate this wine is quite dry, but turns on the finish to be a very refreshing wine.
