Basa Blanco Rueda Verdejo Blend
Rueda, Castilla y León, Spain
I found this 12 year old Spanish white wine by chance at a local store. The store worker had no idea about this brand. It was fun to taste. First off the color was a very dark hue of gold. The nose was the most interesting thing about it. Cooked down peach with honey and lavender. There was a touch of minerality in the background. The palate brought back memories of that Bit-O-Honey taffy candy without the sweetness. Good balance with acidity, alcohol. Finished totally dry. Fun find
