One of our favorite summer wines is Verdejo from Rueda, Spain. This light, fruity (but not sweet) white wine has been at the top of our list since we tried it at our very first tasting in October, 2002. It is becoming more popular -- and therefore easier to find -- and overall, the quality of this wine remains high.
We were delighted to find Rose from Rueda on our last visit to our local wine shop. Vida Nueva, 2005, is made from 100% Tempranillo and is a fun, light wine. Like a white Rueda, it is bright and clean with berry tones...but definitely dry, much to our liking. A nice end-of-summer wine, we served it with a fall meal: grilled pork, roasted potatoes, steamed broccoli, and homemade applesauce.
Our very first review (here) was a Syrah Rose, and Vida Nueva compares favorably to that wine. An unexpected find!
Until the next...
