Wine Review: "Here's a sizzling summer Spanish white from 92% Verdejo and 8% Viura from old head-trained vines - called "Basa" in Spanish.  Big aromas of tangerine, apricot and lemon with just a hint of summery mint.  The flavors are just as big - juicy pineapple, stone fruits, and tangy lemon  making you mouth water as it turns up in a smile.  The finish goes on and on with citrust and stone fruit flavors dancing together.  Great sipper or match for fish."

My Review: This wine tasted a lot like white grape juice to me. It tasted a little bit alcoholic but had a sweet aftertaste. I really liked this! It was light and fruity. 
                                                 I enjoyed this wine without food.
