Montespina 2008 Sauvignon Blanc (Rueda)

Country: Spain /
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Northern Spain
Winery: Montespina / Rueda

Decent and quaffable but does not compare to the winery’s Verdejo. This is prickly and full of pine needle, juniper and other sharp aromas. The palate has a good feel but pickled, briney flavors. Skeletal given its warm-climate origins.
