Flor de Vetus

A vibrant yellow with youthful hints, this Verdejo leaps with aromas of tropical fruit, lime, and white flowers. The palate is "snappy and bright," featuring a refreshing acidity and a persistent, slightly herbal finish that is characteristic of the best Rueda whites.

You are drawn to "high-definition" ingredients. You love Thai and Indian curries, ginger, lemongrass, cilantro, and basil. You likely enjoy Earl Grey tea, lychee, passionfruit, and desserts flavoured with lavender or rosewater. You are the person who says, "This smells amazing" before taking a bite.
