Verdejo DO Rueda 2024, Sotoverde
Credited with creating the fresh, herbaceous white wines now synonymous with Rueda, this outstanding vineyard ticks all the boxes for fresh, crisp white wine.
In the glass
Bright, pale straw colour with green glints. Lots of citrus on the nose with a light floral undertone and tropical fruit elements. Fresh, fruity attack on the palate with well balanced mineral acidity. Crisp, fresh, lemony with a delicate finish.
Verdejo grapes grown on 65 year old vines in the heart of the DO. Minimal intervention agriculture, allowing the climate with its strong contrasts between day and night temperatures to provide the perfect balance of ripeness and acidity at 700m above sea level. The wines are stored in the ancient cellars of an old church. Grapes are hand harvested during the cool of the night and undergo cold soaks prior to crushing, anaerobic winemaking and temperature controlled fermentation.
About the vineyard
