Naia 2012 Naiades Verdejo (Rueda)

Country: Spain / Naiades
Variety: Verdejo Northern Spain
Winery: Naia / Rueda

Combine a warm year with too much time in bottle and this is what you get. This chunky, barrel-fermented Verdejo smells and tastes of early oxidation; it’s creamy on the palate and strained in terms of flavors. Wheaty, leesy, faded melon and apple flavors have lost their verve.
