Last week, as it was so hot, I got this bottle of young fresh white wine from the Rueda region in Spain. It's from last year, 2018, a vintage considered as a very good one, the former, 2017 being excellent. And it was really good indeed. The color is greenish yellow (just like the vinho verde from Portugal, thus their names). On the nose, aromas of white fruit like peach, minerals and fresh herbs like fennel. On the mouth: acidic lemon, fresh, well structured. Aftertaste: pleasingly long and bitter almond. I served chilled and drank it to accompany a rice dish with cod and shrimp; for dessert I had tetilla cheese and quince paste. I have to say all the flavors were enhanced to take the dinner to a whole new level.
