A good one

[Florida Jim]

2003 Las Brisas, Rueda:

Nose of orange skin, peach and chalk with lightly floral accents; harmonious in the mouth with bright, ripe citrus, lemon, peach flavors, some depth, well integrated; and a persistent, slightly tart fruit and mineral finish. This is a refreshing wine with good cut, nice complexity, 13% alcohol and is obviously well-made. About $8.

I assume this is a verdejo? I fell in love with the verdejos from Rueda on a recent trip to Spain. I have had a relatively hard time finding them in the States though.

My understanding is that Rueda is often a blend of verdejo and viura. This is not designated as a "Superior" so I suspect the amount of verdejo is something like 25%, at best.

But I don't know much about Spanish wine and am very willing to learn.

Best, Jim
