Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 89 Points (2016)

White-fruit aromas and a prickly scent of cactus or nettle opens this tight, citrusy old-vines Verdejo. Matching the aromas, this tastes of pithy citrus, grapefruit and green herbs. A racy finish fades out nicely.

Robert Parker (RP) : 89 Points (2015)

The young and fruit-driven 2015 Flor de Vetus is pure Tinta de Toro from a warm and early harvest matured in 50/50 French and American oak barrels for nine months. It has a commercial, approachable profile, with notes of plums and sweet spices, and a juicy palate with good freshness. It calls for food. 159,830 bottles produced.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 88 Points (2015)

Fresh and lively, this brisk white shows floral, lemon, fennel and briny flavors that mingle over citrusy acidity. Crisp yet expressive. Drink now. 6,627 cases made.
