Groc 2007

Groc 2007 Verdejo

Theoretically it is 100% verdejo, but the classical verdejo taste seems quite hidden. Nevertheless, it is pleasant to drink.

Moscatel de la Marina 2008 Enrique Mendoza

Moscatel de la Marina, Enrique Mendoza

This is an outstanding muscat made in Alicante. Nothing to do with the classical muscat wines. It is closer to the french muscat de rivesaltes, although this was is less"floral" and more "herbaceal"/ "fruity". It has a nice "cristal" texture, while muscat the rivesaltes is more "unctuous".
This similitude with mucat de Rivesaltes is not strange, because they add alcohol in order to stop the fermentation, which is similar to the arnau de vilanova method used in Rivesaltes.
Worth to taste it. I paid 7,18 EUR at Tesi-Mascarell.

Hnos. Lurton Blanco Rueda verdejo 2008

Hermanos Lurton Blanco Rueda Verdejo 2008

This is a good quality/price verdejo wine. I paid 5,63 EUR in Tesi-Mascarell. This one is much better than Martivilli. Much more tasty. I think that I prefer Domine, but this one is cheaper.

This is a rueda wine produced by Freixenet. You can purchase it at El Corte Inglés for 5,2 eur per bottle. Some times there is a specil offer: second unit 50% off.

Masia Vila-rasa rosat 2007

Masia Vila-rasa rosat 2007

Although I really enjoy the red one, I cannot say the same about the rosé one. I think that this 2007 wine is too old. It is not a long lasting wine, and it should be consumed during the year.
