Apr 14, 2008 19:58

Rueda (Denominaction de Origen)
Oro de Castilla
Sauvignon Blanc, 2004.

[embotellado por: Bodega Hnos. del Villar, S.L - Rueda Valladolid, Espan~a - 12.5%]

"Vino elaborado unicamente con unas de la noble variedad Sauvignon Blanc, seleccionadas de nuestros vin~edos, a 750 metros de altitud. Recogidas y elaboradas con esmero usando las ultimas tecnicas enologicas.

La filosofia que nos anima a la hora de elaborar este vino es la de obtener de las uvas lo mejor que estas nos puedan aportar: la expresion de la tierra y del caracter peculiar de lavariedad Sauvignon Blanc.

Temperatura optima de servicio: 10C"

What can I say? I am deeply saddened that this is the last bottle in my collection. For it was positively delicious, and exemplified everything a Sauvignon Blanc should be. Truly, a perfect baseline to compare all other SBs with. It has a light touch on the palate, with hints of fruit in the background - nothing overpowering, then a nice but not-overpowering sweetness...a balance so frequently lost with mass production whites.

A dear friend good to know, and I'll be happy to meet again.
