Fruity Verdil from Valencia

Lämna en kommentar

Casa Lluch Verdil Blanco is a Spanish, organic white wine from Bodegas Enguera in Valencia, made mainly from the local Verdil grape, with some Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Viognier.

The wine is fruity, spicy and refreshing, with a lemon yellow color. The wine tastes fresh and summery, with prominent 
citrus (lime, lemon) and floral (orange blossom, peach blossom) aromas and flavors. It’s a well-balanced and dry white wine with a pleasant mouthfeel, often showing hints of apple, pear, and a subtle spicy note on the finish

The grape variety Verdil is a rare, golden-yellow grape variety grown mainly in its native territory, the Valencia DO in southeast Spain. 

This elegant wine can easily be paired with food like monkfish in lemon sauce and smoked mackerel.

We give it 85 points!

From the region Penedès close to Barcelona we find this fruity medium-sweet wine called René Barbier Vina Augusta, made from the grapes Macabeo, Parellada, Xarel-lo and Moscatell. The level of sweetness is 33 g/l, and alcohol 12 %.

The level of acidity is medium and the flavours on the nose is fruity with yellow apples, white peaches and melon. On the palate the flavours are similar with a sweet touch and apples, peaches, nectarine and melon. It has medium body and finish.

I give this wine, which has nr 2670 at Systembolaget, 81 points. Is is worth its price of 43 SEK (375 ml) and is well-balanced and gives an exotic touch! Combine it with desserts, white chocolate or even your favorite blue cheese 🙂
