Rueda, our organic verdejo


Untamed nature
We select grapes from our own, organically-certified vineyards from different districts of the DO Rueda in which poor soils predominate. We also include grapes from old vines with very low yields, over sixty years’ old and with varying planting densities. Part of the fermentation is in casks and this is blended in the final coupage of the wine, making its tannins fine and polished. The rest is fermented in vats and the stirring of the lees is very gentle to achieve very complex aromas, volume and unctuosity.
Viticulture
We select grapes from our own “certified-organic” vineyards from different zones of the DO Rueda appellation where the poor, gravelly soils dominate, with major outcrops of limestone at medium and high altitudes. We also include grapes from old vines with very low yields, over sixty years´old and with varying planting densities.
Harvest 2022
lots of backbone.
Elaboration
Natural débourbage and fermented with its own lees
The grapes are harvested during the night to achieve maximum protection of the aromas of the berries. Once in the winery, the temperature is further reduced and the grapes are very gently pressed, with their skins, at cool temperatures, to get the deepest, most richly nuanced transfer of aromas. Clarification is natural and at cold temperatures. The spontaneous fermentation also starts out cold with the must clean through decanting off, with no use of filters or other manipulation. In addition, part of the fermentation takes place in barrels before the final blending of the wine, which makes its tannins fine and polished.
