2010 Telmo Rodriguez ‘Basa’ Verdejo D.O. Rueda $26

A crisp refreshing white wine made by Telmo Rodriguez, one of Spain’s most high profile and highly regarded winemakers.

Don’t confuse Verdejo with Verdelho though; they are both completely different varietals. Verdejo has way more personality and oomph!

It’s like a cross between a Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc and splash of Pinot Gris on the palate, Basa is stylish – on the savoury side of fruit driven.  Minerally and offering layers of texture to complement its flavours, it’s a perfect complement to seafood and lighter style dishes of the warmer months.

For the quality of this wine, the price is a steal!

You’ll also find it on Movida’s wine list.
