Name:Marques de Caceres
Variety: Verdejo
Region: Rueda
Country: Spain

Shop/wine critic/winery review: 
Vivid straw colour. Fresh, clean and intense bouquet enlivened by notes of citrus fruit with a depth of pears and apples. Deliciously fresh and full in the mouth where racy, focused flavours deliver notes of minerals, lemon rind and green apples. Good length and a refreshing finish. Has all the character of the best from its appellation.
Your Review:
Thanks again to the roomie for taking pity on me.  What is Vergejo? I must try more from this varietal.  I definitely got lemon in this wine, which also may be because of its rich yellow color.  It is a little more golden, which god me thinking it may be oaked? It has to be, because it has that smooth vanilla flavor and feel.  I liked this wine, but don't know enough of the varietal to know if this is standard for the grape.  I did like the finish, and was grateful to experience this wine.
