The 2010 Fuente Elvira is 100% Verdejo sourced from a single vineyard with an average vine age of 40 years. The wine was aged on its lees for several months in stainless steel. The result is an alluringly-scented wine with aromas of baking spices, mineral, white peach, apricot, and jasmine. It displays greater density and richness than the Valdelainos bottling as well as a lengthier finish. It is an outstanding value in Verdejo that will provide enjoyment for another 3-4 years.

The 2009 Fuente Elvira is a single vineyard Verdejo with average vine age of 40 years which received several months of lees contact. The nose gives up nutmeg, honeysuckle, peach, and tropical notes leading to a creamy-textured wine with more palate weight than its sibling. Concentrated, savory, and long, it will drink well for another 2-3 years. Bodegas Pedro Escudero Platon's two Verdejo offerings are both very good values.

The 2007 Fuente Elvira is 100% Verdejo from the Fuente Elvira vineyard whose vines average 40 years of age. Medium straw-colored, it has a round palate feel, good intensity, but not the focus and delineation of the Valdelainos Verdejo. The wine has excellent grip and length and will pair well fish and chicken courses. Drink it over the next 1-2 years. Importer: Aurelio Cabestrero, Grapes of Spain; www.grapesofspain.com

The 2005 Fuente Elvira is 100% Verdejo raised in stainless steel on its fine lees for several months. This effort has a similar aromatic and flavor profile to its sibling but it is crisper and longer on the palate. Drink this excellent value over the next 12-18 months.
