INCREDIBLE VALUE

INCREDIBLE VALUE
Casa Solar Viura 2010 Vdt Castilla 11.50% €7.99 
This is an excellent white wine at an incredible price.
Colour: Strikingly bright; light honey.
Nose: Inviting fruity bouquet, including grapefruit.
Palate: They sum it up as alive and refreshing on the back label and I couldn’t agree more. Really fresh and fruity with a good slash of tartness.
This is an excellent combination in the mouth and further proof for Hugh Johnson’s theory that Spanish whites are very much on the up. “Spain,” he says, “is discovering that...she has a talent for whites of flavour and depth.”
“In five years time,” he concludes, “we’ll all be drinking them.” But thanks to the “talent spotters” of Wine Alliance we don't have to wait that long. This is now on the shelves nationwide at a very reasonable €7.99.
