Pale straw yellow with greenish highlights. Frank aroma, expressive, crystallized fruit, balsamic, dry stone, mineral. Mouth coating, fruity, fresh, with good structure and persistent acidity, with a slight final bitterness typical of the variety. Ideal with fish, seafood, rice stews, white meats and oriental cuisine.
What the critics say...

The 2009 Ermita Veracruz Verdejo displays an enticing nose of baking spices, spring flowers, citrus, pear, and mineral. Spicy on the palate, it has plenty of savory fruit, lively acidity, and a crisp, refreshing finish. Drink this excellent value over the next 12-18 months.
