The 2004 Valdelainos (96% Verdejo and 4% Viura) is assembled and aged in stainless steel vats, and has some lees contact for several months prior to bottling. Reminiscent of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, it is a crisp, melony, herbal effort revealing refreshing floral/fruit notes. Enjoy this attractive, modern-styled, dry white over the next year. It is an excellent value.
