As I wrote on “What I’m Drinking Tonight”, this is GAWJUSSS!!!! I like a good Verdejo for its soft citrus notes and easy drinkability with seafood. Was interested to see what the ‘on the lees’ treatment (‘sobre lías, as written on the bottle) would do for the wine. It certainly adds a fuller body and furthers the complexity of the white flower* and citrus flavours with an added tropical of mango and, dare I say, banana! * I say ‘white flower’ in lieu of being able to discern the particular herbal notes but the bottle says ‘fennel’. So there we go, folks, a wine that tastes of fennel! This is a steal at £7.99 so some goes into my Easter basket. Thanks Norrel!
