Description:
Compañía de Vinos Telmo Rodríguez grew out of the partnership between Telmo Rodríguez and Pablo Eguzkiza, two winemakers with deep experience in Burgundy and Rioja. They work across many of Spain's classic regions, always with the native grapes of each place, and are widely credited with helping to revive forgotten vineyards and village wines across the country.

Basa is their fresh, unoaked Rueda, made mostly from Verdejo with a little Viura to show the bright, aromatic side of the region.

Tasting Notes:
Lively aromas of pineapple and passion fruit with citrus notes of lemon and fresh grapefruit. Fresh and silky on the palate with well-balanced acidity and a clean, refreshing finish.

Food Pairing:
Aperitif, salads, white fish, prawns and light tapas.
