naia verdejo

The sunsets off the balcony here are amazing. You don't get that intense color that you might find in the Indiana due to all the topsoil flying around in the atmosphere, or the intense deep pinks and oranges you'll find in New Jersey from all the pollution everyone is breathing in. Nope, here it's just pure atmosphere. When the moon comes over the hills it's like watching a planet rising on the horizon. The sunsets are so pure. Naturally, we can't help celebrating regularly with a bottle of good white. The other night it was this refreshing Spanish Verdejo from Naia.

Tasting notes
Color: Predictable golden, lemony, though richer in color than I expected. Fuller than a savignon blanc in its goldness, though not that creamy gold of a chardonnay.
Nose: Lightly aromatic with hints of peach and pear
Taste: Crisp fresh lemon, lots of green apple, maybe a little cut green grass, some pear overtones on the apple, very acidic.
