Aromas of pineapple, cider and citrus are good but basic. It’s fleshy and soft in the mouth (call it pulpy) with mild grapefruit, passion fruit and tropical melon flavors. Finishes soft, chunky and pithy. Drink ASAP.

Maybe it’s the Viura, becuase this $9 wine seems cleaner, rounder and slightly better than the winery’s higher-priced pure Verdejos. Look for generic but fresh peach and citrus aromas and then lip-smacking citrus flavors. Finishes composed and clean, with lasting grapefruit flavor. 60% Verdejo and 40% Viura.

Full and sweet smelling, but also a little cidery. The palate is drawn, narrow and citrusy, with grapefruit, passion fruit and orange for core flavors. Finishes citrusy and a touch vapid; overall it shows flashes of elegance but not enough to rise above average.

Full and blowsy for Verdejo, with orange, grapefruit and minerally aromas. The palate is zesty, with orange, tangerine and passion fruit flavors. With pretty good fruit character, adequate acidity and a slick-feeling finish, this is a good effort that should be drunk right away.

Pungent and grassy on the nose, with a strong nettle and green herb character. The palate is soft and playful, with pithy white fruit flavors and then a soda-like dry finish. Plump, wayward and a bit green overall.
