2007 Basa, Telmo Rodriguez, Rueda Blanco - Basa, made by relentlessly innovative Spanish winemaker Telmo Rodriguez, derives its name from red counterpart Baso, itself named after the country's ancient 'baso'(goblet)-shaped bushvines. Basa is from Rueda, source of many of Spain's finest whites, particularly Sauvignon. Telmo fights the corner here for local varieties Viura and Verdejo, conceding just a little Sauvignon for grassy freshness. The succulent result is packed with crisp, clean flavours of yellow plums and white peaches. "Incredible tropical character. A bit like Um Bungo juice only alcoholic. But there's also a sour, grapefruit character. Rich, refreshing and packed with flavour." Wine & Spirit, May 2008
2007 Basa, Telmo Rodriguez, Rueda Blanco is the perfect Christmas present idea!
