Paso a Paso Verdejo 2010

In order to pull off a full body a wine must have crisp acidity to prevent a flabby mess. Verdelho seems ideally suited to Spain in this regard; the Iberian sun and the concomitant heat tease out a rich complexity but being a late ripener, this variety keeps an acidity that would make you click your heels at attention if it weren't for the wine's body. These are wines of great tension and contrast, bright at first and then rich in the middle, crisp at the swallow and long on the finish. Given patience such Verdelho can evolve into a nutty complexity unique to the variety.

Expert Review

"Bodegas Volver’s 2010 Paso a Paso Verdejo (from the first Verdejo to be planted in La Mancha), was fermented and aged sur lie in
stainless steel. Baking spice, jasmine, peach, and apricot notes inform the nose of this spicy white. Not quite as concentrated and
mouth-filling as the better Verdejo from Rueda, it still represents solid value for drinking over the next 1-2 years."
