Wine Critic Review: "Castellana’s 2009 Palos Verdejo is medium straw-colored with a nose of fennel, spring flowers, citrus, and apple. Crisp and vibrant on the palate, this tasty offering is a good value that will deliver pleasure over the next 12–18 months." Robert Parker 87 pts. The Wine Advocate: June, 2010
My Review: This wine was intriguing because I have never heard of this grape variety before. The smell was full of citrus, clean, fresh, and the smell of lemons was the predominate citrus fruit present. The taste was smooth and the smell of the wine has the most excitement. There was no taste to the wine, lackluster would be a great word to describe this light bodied wine. I would be willing to give this variety a chance again from a different producer.
This wine was not tried with food.
