Naia 2010 Ducado de Altan Verdejo (Rueda)

Country: Spain / Ducado de Altan
Variety: Verdejo Northern Spain
Winery: Naia / Rueda

This starts with some Verdejo sweat and funk on the nose, and while those notes don’t last, the bouquet doesn’t improve dramatically with airing. It feels soft and basic, with melon and lettuce flavors. Falls off a bit on the finish, which tastes a bit briney.
