Country: Spain / Northern Spain
Variety: Verdejo
Winery: Matarromera / Fermentado en Barrica
Mellow white-fruit aromas are nonspecific and oaky, but not overly so. This barrel-fermented Verdejo feels plump and chunky, with balancing acidity. Salty melon, apricot and apple flavors end steady and long. For barrel-fermented Verdejo, this is at the top of the pile.
