Blanco Nieva 2000 [White]
Producer: Viñedos de Nieva
Region: DO Rueda

For some time, many of Spain's most interesting economical whites have been produced in the Rueda denomination, situated on the northern plateau in the provinces of Valladolid and Segovia. The region's Verdejo grape produces a tasty white wine with depth, character and a personality all its own. A good food wine to accompany fish or fowl.

Bright pale straw color. Rich aromas show the classic Verdejo orange peel along with straw flowers and anise-seed. The palate's rich and tasty with crisp acidity, citrusy-pear fruit and a pleasant, vaguely bitterish finish. Very good.
