When fun new Spanish wine hits the shelf, you know I’m into it. This one in particular is definitely poised to be a new hit…mark my words. It’s an expressive, aromatic blend of two fun, indigenous Spanish varieties – Treixadura and Godello and is bursting with tropical, exotic fruit notes, salty minerality and a zippy acidity that keeps you coming back for you. Be like me and dream of sunny patio days with a bottle of this baby on ice, sunglasses on and feet up. Salud!
