An 85% Verdejo and 15% Viura blend fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures, this 2004 Mantel Blanco Verdejo comes across like a Sauvignon Blanc without that varietal’s grassy component. Attractive apple and melon-like notes characterize this fruity, dry, medium-bodied white. Enjoy it over the next year. Importer: Steven Berardi, Elizabeth Imports, Denver, CO; tel. (303) 329-3180
