Telmo Rodriguez: Alicante, Castilla Leon, Malaga, Ribera del Duero, Rioja, Rueda, Toro and Valdeorras, Spain
Basa, Rueda
The Verdejo, Viura and Sauvignon Blanc blend has year after year been named one of Spain’s and the world’s great white wine values. The intense floral aromatics, freshness and wonderful texture are the result of the high elevation plantings in lime and gravel soils, with good drainage, that give rise to some of the best quality white wine grapes in Spain.2007 Vintage Reviews:
“Everyone’s favorite summer sipper is as good as ever in 2007. It’s 50% Verdego, 40% Viura and 10% Sauvignon Blanc, and all thrown together you get a ton of steely citrus and mineral aromas and flavors adding up to endless refreshment possibilities. Spritzy, zesty and a perennial bargain among aromatic whites.” 89 + Best Buy, Wine Enthusiast, June 2008
2006 Vintage Reviews:
“Exuberant, with bold flavors of guava, lychee and lime, this expressive white has ample structure, yet remains graceful and lively through the fruity finish. Verdejo, Viura and Sauvignon Blanc.” 89 Wine Spectator, April 2008
2005 Vintage Reviews:
“Readers looking for a tasty, value-priced white should check out the 2005 Basa. Produced from 50% Verdejo, 40% Viura, and 10% Sauvignon Blanc, and fermented and aged in tank, it is a crisp, crunchy, medium-bodied, dry white offering notes of grapefruit, white currants, and flowers as well as excellent underlying acidity.” 89 Wine Advocate, August 2006
