Tasting- Palos Verdejo


Name:  Palos Verdejo
Variety:  100% Verdejo
Region:  Vinos de la Tierra
Country:  Spain
Year:  2009
Price:  $15 (sale: $4.95)
Review:  “Castellana’s 2009 Palos Verdejo is medium straw-colored with a nose of fennel, spring flowers, citrus, and apple. Crisp and vibrant on the palate, this tasty offering is a good value that will deliver pleasure over the next 12–18 months.  87 points.” (Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate)
My Review:  This wine smelled citrusy, clean, and fresh, with crisp apples.  It had a lemon citrus flavor and slight heat in the mouth, but was still smooth.   Quite good overall. 

I tried this wine without food.
