The 2007 Jose Pariente Barrel Fermented is an unusual 100% Verdejo fermented in new and used French and American oak. It remained in barrel for four months prior to bottling. Light gold-colored, it reveals an enticing perfume of citrus, pineapple, and banana with barely a trace of wood. Ripe on the palate with excellent integration of the oak, this surprisingly complex Verdejo will drink well for another two years. Importer: Aurelio Cabestrero, Grapes of Spain, Lorton, VA; tel.
