Product Notes

Telmo Rodriguez Basa is an exquisite Spanish wine from the Rueda region that elegantly encapsulates richness and finesse. Produced by famed winemaker Telmo Rodriguez, this white blend presents a pleasing palate of lush tropical fruits, coupled with subtle hints of herbaceous undertones. The Verdejo and Viura grapes offer a vibrant acidity, leading to a wine that is both sumptuous and refreshing. There is an excellent balance of flavour, intermingling ripe fruits with fine minerality, delivering a seamless finish. This wine is excellent for pairing with seafood or enjoyed as a standalone aperitif—a must-try for wine enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

Pale, lemon, bright, Basa is bone-dry, mid-weight, and shows distinct earthy, herbal complexity. Verdejo-which accounts for 90 % of the blend- is sometimes spoken of as Spain’s answer to sauvignon blanc but it is more restrained with flavours of lemon peel and green peach and dry zesty finish.
