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: 100% Old Vine Verdejo. The must is cold macerated with the skins for eight hours at 7º C, enhancing the Verdejo’s characteristic aromas. Fermentation takes place at 14-16ºC, which helps to maintain and intensify the variety’s unique flavour. 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 fattyacids and more ample and glycerine like sensations on the palate. This turns it into a more elegantand gastronomic wine.
Tasting notes:
Colour: Medium intensity straw-yellow colour with deep green reflections. Brightand well presented.
Nose: Intense, fleshy white fruit and yet it's tropical fruit that predominates. Touches of herbs (fennel), balsamic echoes and a marked aniseed-flavoured background emerges with notes of white flowers.
Palate: Fresh, elegant smooth and well structured. Tasty, aromatic, with easy fore palate. Complex and persistent finish with pleasantly bitter nuances typical of this variety. An unusually good mouthfeel due to ageing on lees. Food pairing: Perfect for rice dishes, smoked and marinated fish, grilled fish and seafood, sushi, salads, pastas with white sauces and white meats with or without sauce.
