Description

• Style of sweetness
• Yelloo plums
• White peaches
• Crisp & clean

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.
