VERDEJO VIDAL 2010, BODEGAS ANGEL RODRIGUEZ MARTINSANCHO

TASTING NOTES

Angel Rodriguez is said to produce the best wine in Rueda: Martinsancho. Having been mainly bored to death with the wines of the region so far, we couldn’t wait to get our hands on a bottle and see what the fuss was all about. We weren’t disappointed: clean, fresh, zippy, this is the sort of wine that tells you summer is just around the corner.

Very pale with an almost green tinge to it, the nose is discreet and elegant with notes of citrus and anis and the palate lean and focused with just enough weight and a chalky finish reminiscent of a good Sancerre. Beautiful!

Stephen Tanzer of the International Wine Cellar is also a big fan as he gave it no less than 91 pts: “Pale yellow-gold. Intensely perfumed, complex nose displays fresh lime, grapefruit, anise, herbs and white flowers. Nervy citrus flavors are complicated by thyme, licorice and white pepper, with bracing minerality adding verve. The finish clings tenaciously, repeating the mineral and floral notes. Weightless, precise and impressively persistent, with a filigree quality that is really alluring."
