Emina | Verdejo 2006

PV Tasting Notes

Pale in appearance, a silky texture carries the ripe flavours of pear and melon and pineapple, with hints of fresh herbs balanced by lemony acidity with an almost aniseed tone on the finish. It's quite atypical but alluring.
Made at one of the "Worlds Top 100 Wineries"

A truly classic wine, would suit all manner of light Tapas dishes, Escabeche of Sardines, Battered Squid, Basque squid stew, Hake with hop paprika dressing, Catalan Fish Stew, Paella, tortilla, Andalusian Pork, white bean and chorizo soup or even roast Spanish style chicken.

Bodegas Emina is an exciting new development of the Matarromera Group, reviewed in 2006 as one of the top 100 wineries of the world. The newly built winery, is truly “state of the art”, in fact, during all my travels around the world, never have I seen such superb wine making facilities. Their policy is to make wines of a world class standard, as commitment to this policy, they did not make any wine in 2004, they felt the base product was not up to their demanding standards. The company is leading the way forward in many aspects of wine production, not only in wine production, but also in cosmetics, produced from the left over material, skins, seeds etc. Through a massive research programme they have developed new polyphenols which act on skin with some 30% more anti-oxidant power that deter cells from aging. They now also produce for both men and women, a range of products including moisturising creams, exfoliants and aftershave, all from grape extract!
