Regarded as a benchmark for Verdejo, this wine’s exceptional quality derives from the vineyard’s high altitude and limestone soil, lending a distinct brightness and minerality to the wine.
Vines planted from 1989 to 2009. Tended in limestone soil covered by river stones and sand at 719m (2,359ft) elevation. This is a vegan wine.
The grapes are carefully hand-harvested during the cooler nighttime hours, when temperatures are below 15ºC. Fermentation takes place at a controlled low temperature using indigenous yeast. The wine matures on its lees for a minimum of 4 months with daily bâtonnage. After fermentation, there is no malolactic fermentation in order to retain the wine's fresh acidity. After aging, the wine is filtered and bottled.
Light bright yellow. Aromas of Meyer lemon and green apple are accented by suggestions of chalky minerals and sea salt. Dry and racy on the palate, offering lively citrus fruit and fresh fig flavors and a subtle touch of tarragon. Closes on a juicy note, featuring resonating stoniness and very good focus and length
