The rain in Spain stays main... you know where.
The delicious José Pariente Fermentado en Barrica, 2013, White, Verdejo grapes do come from the spanish plain... but then it gets a splendid nuanced balance from Bodegas José Pariente having it fermented in oak barrels.
I had it yesterday at Burgos, Spain, with a splendid Cordero Horno de Leña at the traditional and still great Ojeda restaurant.
It reminded me of my good friend and fellow writer Pedro Cardelus Muñoz Seca whom first recommended José Pariente to me as his Verdejo favourite wine. Indeed, cheers Pedro.
