Hand-picked in the daytime from 80 to 100 year old gobelet trained vines. Fabulous value!
Fermentation is carried out at 15 degrees Celsius with selected yeast. 15% of the production is fermented in 500 litre French oak barrels and the rest in stainless steel. Aged on its lees in a stainless-steel vat for 5 months with battonage.
The wine is pale yellow with greenish highlights. A powerful but clean nose, with floral aromas, hints of white flowers, acacia fruit and the typical fennel aromas typical of Verdejo. Really round and unctuous on the palate, with a fatty and lingering mouthfeel and a lovely floral finish.
"This is a beautifully balanced Verdejo that highlights the character and concentration of old vines. The nose reveals smoky notes alongside green apple, lime, and ripe pineapple. A touch of batonnage lends a creamy texture, but vibrant acidity keeps the wine fresh and precise. The oak influence is subtle, allowing the wine’s tropical fruit to shine while the finish is longand citrus-driven." 92 pts Beth Willard Tim Atkin MW Rueda Report 2025
