  • Yellow plums

  • Crisp

"The 2021 Basa is the entry-level white from Rueda, produced with 90% Verdejo and 10% Viura, with 13% alcohol and a pH of 3.43. It fermented and matured exclusively in stainless steel. 2021 was very rainy but was healthier than 2020, and the wines from 2021 have good freshness. This is balsamic with notes of bay leaf and a medicinal touch. It's light to medium-bodied, balanced and fresh" Luis Gutierrez, The Wine Advocate

Crisp, clean flavours of yellow plums and white peaches.

Grapes were machine and handpicked and underwent fermentation in stainless steel.

Basa, made by relentlessly innovative Spanish winemaker Telmo Rodriguez, derives its name from red counterpart Baso, itself named after the country's ancient 'baso'(goblet)-shaped bushvines. Basa is from Rueda, source of many of Spain's finest whites, particularly Sauvignon. Telmo fights the corner here for local varieties Viura and Verdejo, conceding just a little Sauvignon for grassy freshness. The succulent result is packed with crisp, clean flavours of yellow plums and white peaches.
