Gulp Hablo La Mancha Orange Verdejo - Sauvignon Blanc Blend

Loved it.

I like it because it’s different. Orange wine. Grapefruit juice, orange pulp, crushed shells.
Austere and unique.

Orange wine. Organic. Minerally and Grapefruit. Not for us. NYT best 20 under $25

Grapefruit, mineral yum

Gave this a terrible review before. Second drink a couple months later and it’s very enjoyable. Herbaceous, grapefruit. Still tastes like dirty socks but in a very enjoyable way.

Dirty socks, motor-oil. This is one of the least enjoyable wines I’ve had in a while.

I don’t get why Verdejo has been trendy. Feels like headache sauce to me, especially when blended with SB (neglected to see that on the label when I took a big pour of this last night). Not the best wine to end the night, but might be decent in other circumstances. Nice orange color at least.

Floral aromatics almost like a Moschofilero. Honey, citrus, jasmine. Even cherry blossoms.

Zing zing. Damn. This good.

Maybe falls a bit flat towards the end, but love the story and rustic quality of the bottle and wine.

Tangerine, peaches pears. Light gulp and enjoy.
