The harvest: The 2025 vintage in the Rueda D.O. was challenging due to downy mildew and hailstorms, but resulted in a harvest of excellent quality and healthy grapes, although with a significantly lower yield due to these climatic factors. It was characterized by balanced and concentrated ripening, resulting in powerful wines with good fruit expression and freshness, exhibiting a warmer and more Mediterranean character than the previous vintage. Vinification 85% Old Vine Verdejo, 15% Old Vine Viura.

Fermentation takes place at 14-16ºC, which helps to maintain and intensify characteristic flavours. Next and in order to gain structure and ageing power, the wine is kept in contact with the fine lees in the deposit to strengthen its structure by providing fatty acids and more ample and glycerine like sensations on the palate. This turns it into a more elegant and gastronomic wine.

Tasting notes Colour: Clean bright yellow straw colour with a green tinge. Nose: Aromas of freshly peeled oranges, with white and tropical fruit (pear/ banana). Palate: Dense with a great mouthfeel, rich and crisp, with white tree fruit flavours (pear) and atouch of orange zest. Food pairing: This wine goes well with shellfish, seafood and smoked fish as wellas salads, pastaand rice dishes.
