Another example of why I love Spanish wines for value. Lots of lively-juicy-fruity-bang-for-your-buck here! Throw in an ever-so-slightly smoky black fruit quality and barely noticeable oak, and you've got fun, fresh juice with some character to boot. Couldn't ask for anything more at $12.95! Enjoyed May 2012

An interesting example of Friulano. Spiced pear, and a pretty distinctive banana peel flavour mid-palate. Acidity is in check. Pleasing bitter finish. Perhaps not the most crowd pleasing expression. Decent value nonetheless. Worth a try. Tasted April 2012.

Torres Viña Esmeralda 2010, Do Catalunya Bottle
Torres Viña Esmeralda 2010, Do Catalunya
Catalonia, Spain
$13.95

A prime example of cheap and cheerful! Highly aromatic with zippy acidity. Floral, sweet tropical fruit, and a touch of Gewurz-esque spice. Overall, a perfect little summer white. Buy a few bottles and wait until July/August to enjoy outside.
