Description

"The aroma, of great intensity, is elegant, fresh and complex. It has a markedly fruity tone that spans the range of white fruits (pear, peach), citrus and passion fruit. In the mouth the notes of fresh fruit appear again. Unctuous, sweet and elegant with a slight touch of bitterness in the finish characteristic of the Verdejo variety. It has a big structure that favours its persistence."

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Jose Pariente

After taking over the winery from their parents, Ignacio (who runs the export and business operations) and Martina (winemaker) are bringing a clear generational shift to their wines, experimenting and using modern techniques and technology to set themselves apart from other wines. The twosome would look just as at-home in a fashion photo spread as they would hand-picking grapes in their vineyards, and they embrace their status as the new blood in a centuries-old region. In fact, Ignacio sees being on the young side of the wine equation is a bonus, as exporters and consumers appreciate that they’re able to gravitate towards social media, connect directly with anyone looking for their wines, whether in Barcelona, Beijing or Buffalo.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Verdejo

Verdejo is a white grape varietal that hails from the Rueda region of central-north Spain. Interestingly enough, it was long-forgotten until relatively recently and it is now clawing its way back in a major way. Whilst the best examples of a Rueda Blanc are, arguably, pure Verdejo it is often blended with a touch of Sauvignon Blanc to give it an extra kick.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Rueda

Rueda is a top quality wine region in the northwestern part of Spain, just around the corner from the famous: Ribera del Duero region. Wine production here is almost exclusively white wines. The white grape speciality of the region is Verdejo which produces wines that are full of tropical and stone-fruit flavours and are high in refreshing acidity. Verdejo can, and often is, blended with Sauvignon Blanc.
