Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
An own-label Rueda made for the Rick Stein restaurants by Reina de Castilla, built from Verdejo with Viura in support. It shows what Verdejo does best: lime and green apple over a fennel-and-bitter-almond snap that keeps the finish dry and savoury, with the Viura rounding the edges. Around 13.5% abv. A seafood wine first and foremost — serve it properly cold.
