We had the recent pleasure of presenting a Spanish food and wine pairing exercise to the members of Innis Arden in North Seattle this past week. Below are some notes on one of the wines we presented. Enjoy!

.

2007 Buil & Gine Nosis Rueda

.
varieties: 100% Verdejo

.

region: Rueda, Spain. Rueda lies along the Duero river to the northwest of Madrid. This area also
produces some fantastic Sauvignon Blanc.

.

vinification: 100% stainless steel

.

notes: coming from the “Fuente la Miel” vineyard, 35 year old vines create a wine with intense melon,
grapefruit pith, lemon oil, and wet rock. Ripe and fresh with lively acidity.
pairing: shellfish and fin fish or just a porch and comfy chair on a summer afternoon.
