2021 Caballito de Mar Rueda Verdejo - VERY GOOD+ - BTYH

bigger than your head logo 250"All stainless steel. The estate was founded in 1935. Medium gold hue; fresh and breezy, notes of pear, quince and the richness of lemon curd; beguiling touches of lilac and verbena; lovely talc-like texture, riven by bright acidity; leans toward stone-fruit jazzed by a bit of grapefruit; gratifying heft and presence for the price; the finish brings in more limestone minerality. Now through 2024. Very Good+. - Fredric Koeppel"

"This light-straw-colored wine has a nose of pineapple and grapefruit. There is a touch of salinity on the palate alongside flavors of Valencia orange, white peach and passion fruit that wind down to a zesty closing note. - Mike DeSimone"

bti silver 2023"Straw green color. Aromas and flavors of lemon and apple, lemongrass, lilies, and green pear with a satiny, vibrant, dry medium body and a tingling, amusing, medium-to-long finish manifesting accents of lemon oil and lemon zest, blanched salted almond, and fennel and savory herbs. A well crafted and classic Verdejo that leaves you craving tapas."
