Verdejo from Old Vines

Smooth, dry white wine with a pleasant aroma of yellow fruit, melon, and a light toasty note. Soft, round taste. Delicious as an aperitif, but also with cold and hot fish dishes.

Spontaneously mistaken Verdejo

The Rueda wine region has given the Verdejo grape international fame. But beautiful and aromatic white wines are also made from this special and recognizable grape variety in other Spanish wine regions.

Winemaker Juan Pablo Bonete of Bodegas Piqueras in southern Almansa provides a striking example. His Verdejo grapes come from organically farmed plots at an altitude of 700 meters. They are harvested at night and thus transported to the cellar as cool as possible.

Fermentation starts spontaneously with natural yeasts from the vineyard – hence the name Wild Fermented Verdejo. Both fermentation and two months of aging on the lees take place in lightly toasted 300-liter barrels of luxury French oak from the Allier.

This is followed by a further six months of maturation in large steel tanks, during which the wine also remains in contact with the lees. The result? A beautiful, full-bodied wine with a ripe flavour and a finely balanced oak nuance.
