This is an exotic, fruit driven, and well-balanced example of what the Verdejo grape variety can bring to a bottle of wine. There are a lot of white wines in this store at this price range and I’d put this little gem up against any of them. The grapes come from a 40 year old, 6 hectare estate vineyard and from purchased grapes grown nearby. Although the climate in Rueda is continental, with hot summers, the grapes are grown at an altitude of 500m above sea level, ensuring cool nights that protect the aromatic intensity of the grapes.
