DO Rueda, Spain (100% Verdejo) 750ml

VINEYARDS

Avelino Vegas S.A. controls more than 475 hectares of vineyard, located mainly in the area of Segovia, where he has placed his winery. In this area the vineyards are small, mostly between 1 and 3 hectares. The cultivated varieties are Verdejo and Sauvignon and the vines have an average age of 35 years, that contribute to elaborate wines with a great complexity of aromas and good structure.

ELABORATION

The harvest is made after a rigorous control of maturation. After destemming the grapes, a light cold film maceration takes place to increase the aromatic intensity of the must. The grape is soft pressed and the clean must is fermented to a controlled temperature during a period of 20 days. The new wine is racked and remains in contact with the fine lees, providing the wine of more volume and complexity.

TASTING NOTES

Straw yellow coloured with light greenish borders, clean and bright. Great expressiveness on the nose, intermingling the own aromas of the verdejo variety such just cat hay, fennel, with the typical aromas of the tropical fruits like pineapple, guava and mango. On the palate is explosive, fruity and creamy, with a very fruity, long and silky end.
