Finally we end with another white wine DO Rueda, great wine for this holiday season ....


                              MARQUES DE RISCAL FINCA MONTICO BLANCO 

Producer:
Marqués de Riscal
Comment:
This wine, made 100% from grapes of the Verdejo vine, comes from an old estate vineyard located in the Montico district of Rueda. This is a typical poor, stony, gritty-soiled terroir which is ideal for producing the highest quality Rueda Verdejo varietal wines.
Aged:
5 months on the fine lees in stainless steel tank
Tasting Notes:
A greenish-yellow wine. The nose has a marked Verdejo varietal aroma with medium intensity and hints of fennel, mixed herbs, white blossom, pear and peach. It has a fresh, oily, very smooth mouth-feel, with a long, round finish. Its good acidity together with a period of ageing on its finest lees help to keep its fresh taste longer and preserves all its aromatic complexity. It is not a wine which tries to impress you with an explosion on the nose, but rather reveals an elegant, more complex varietal character.
Pairing:
This wine pairs well with fish, shellfish, white meat, ham, pasta, chicken and cold cuts.
Temperature service:
6-8º C
