The 2009 Paso a Paso Verdejo is the first Verdejo produced from La Mancha. The advantage is that can be grown less expensively there with the question being how it compares in quality to those produced in Rueda. The answer seems to be so far, so good. It displays an enticing nose of spring flowers, nutmeg, cinnamon, and pit fruits leading to a crisp, vibrant tasty wine for enjoying over the next 12-18 months. It is a very good value.
