Serious Rueda
Verdejo (grape variety) from Rueda (wine region): one of Spain's relatively few contributions to the genre of serious white wine. This is a really good one, as transparent as a haunting cataract on a sunny April day.Naia Verdejo 2007 Rueda, Spain
Crisp, minerally, complex and elegant, with an aromatic nose of grapefruit and lemon that leads to a palate where there's crisp yet rich textured spicy apple, pear and citrus fruit. Beautifully balanced and quite complex. Drink now. 91/100 (£10.99 Indigo Wine [the agent in the UK], Harrods, The Vineyard [Dorking], Christopher Piper)

'as transparent as a haunting cataract on a sunny April day.'
What?
An attempt to be all poetic, like.
That's science graduates masquerading as wine writers for you...
Guilty. 'Haunting cararact' is a phrase from a Wordsworth poem we did at school - Tintern Abbey. For some reason it has stuck with me. Cataract = waterfall of some sort.
