Las Brisas has a wide open, ripe array of fruity and grassy aromas that attack the nose on first sniff. In the mouth it is a bright, open, colorfully fruitful and refreshing white wine filled with gobs of ripe white fruits: green grapes, white peach, apricot, pear, granny smith apple, grapefruit, and lime-y citrus. It�s juicy and crisp at the same time; it may as well be a glass of fruit salad. An excellent edge of acidity makes it a great match for white meats and seafood, and doubles as a thirst quencher. A slight touch of perceived peachy sweetness makes it a good foil for hot and spicy dishes. This is a great choice for a summer barbecue; also a great “segue” wine for those trying to escape white zindom and enter the world of real fine wine. 1 Note

Vital Statistics * Type: White * Grapes: 50% Verdejo | 50% Viura * Vinification: Fermented at 61F for 18 days Tasting Notes * Eyes: Very attractive greenish-straw yellow. * Nose: A distinct aniseed and herbaceous nose with a powerful aroma of medium-high intensity, conferred to those of verdejo variety with, apparently, the presence of white fruit notes (pears and apples), conferred to those of the viura variety. * Taste: Elegant, fruity, where exotic notes come through again, with some racy tang lent by some carbonic acid that only adds freshness. 1 Note

Stunningly impressive wine for the price (paid about $9). The 50/50 viura and verdejo is reminiscent of sauvignon blanc but with more citrus flavor.
