2020 Marques de Caceres Verdejo (750ml)

Verdejo from Rueda, Castilla y Leon, Spain

Cristina Forner at Cáceres has been branching out from Rioja, and this may be one of her most successful new wines. In 2014, she invested in 300 acres of vines on terraces above the Duero River; the vines, mostly verdejo and mostly on gravelly sand, surround the winery built at the vineyard. Eso es Rueda, I wrote, when I tasted this wine. Its dynamic contrast of rich and fresh, its brisk flavors of apples and turmeric, its leesy depths and lasting refreshment all set the bar for affordable pleasure in verdejo. Chill it for shellfish, particularly grilled oysters with spicy garlic butter.

Pale yellow. A pungent bouquet displays mineral-accented citrus and orchard fruits, along with strong floral and fresh bay accents. Juicy and chewy in texture, offering energetic Anjou pear, orange pith and tarragon flavors underscored by a vein of smoky minerality. Powerful yet lithe, finishing with sharp clarity and good, mineral-driven persistence.
