Vina Gormaz 2014 Verdejo 750ml

Tasting Note:

Vi?a Gormaz is a 125 acre/51 hectare estate on the Adaja River in Rueda.  In 1989, a modern winemaking facility was built over the 14th-century subterranean cellars.  Their focus is on indigenous white varieties of Rueda; including Verdejo and Viura.  This wine is made using 100% Verdejo and has a particular brightness.  It is loaded with fruity aromas of citrus, kiwi and quince balanced by refreshing acidity. Try pairing it with shellfish, Trout and South-East Asian dishes.

Critical Acclaim:

Passion fruit, scallion, nettle and minerally aromas are neither pushy nor piquant. It’s stony in feel, with a crisp, acidic palate that houses tropical fruit flavors of pineapple and papaya, while the finish is pithy in flavor, with bitterness and a leftover hint of papaya. Score: 88 points -- Michael Schachner, Oct 2013
