Gothamist Picks Spanish Wine
Filed in archive Spanish Wines by tammy on July 12, 2006

The Belondrade y Lurton Rueda, a Spanish white wine made from the verdejo grape, is dangerously tasty - and luckily for us, pretty affordable at under $30 a bottle.
What we loved about this wine are the layers of flavors. Made from 20 - 30 year old vines the concentration of fruit was intense and the fermentation
in French oak barrels added a richness and depth to the profile. On the nose are aromas of lime, citrus and minerality with a hint of oak. On the palate is a honeyed spice note that keeps all taste buds fully engaged and lingers with flavors of citrus and minerality. It reminds us of a Sauvignon blanc with just a little more body. I found a little more information about this vintage, along with some wine notes, over at Michael Shurnik Wines. Worth a read if you want to add this to your "to try" list.
