Nisia, Rueda DO (Castilla y León, Spain) Verdejo, Old Vines 2018

May 19, 2020

By Rich Cook

 A delightfully tropical expression of Verdejo, featuring opening aromas of sweet pink grapefruit that morph slowly into guava, pineapple and passion fruit.  The palate delivers on the wine’s aromatic promise, with the fruit riding a rounded texture into a finish where the acidity pops brightly, extending the flavor impression while cleansing the mouth for the next sip or bite of seafood tapas or antipasto.  A nice find – by Jorge Ordoniz Selections.
