Delicious wood-aged Verdejo

An expressive, fruity, crisp-dry white wine with notes of yellow peach, melon, quince, anise, and toast. Accessible and wonderfully juicy, with an invigorating freshness and lovely suppleness. The finish is crisp-dry and lingering with yellow fruit. Delicious as an aperitif or with tapas. It also pairs perfectly with various fish dishes, such as grilled sardines with olive oil, tuna empanada, or paella a la marinera.

Top quality from the Rueda

The Rueda wine region has given the Verdejo grape international fame. But other Spanish wine regions also produce beautiful, aromatic white wines from this unique and recognizable grape variety.

Bodegas Piqueras in southern Almansa offers a striking example. Their Verdejo grapes come from organically farmed plots at an altitude of 700 meters.

Together with winemaker Juan Pablo Bonete, we selected the best part of the harvest and allowed the wine to mature on the yeast cells ('sobre lías') for a little longer than the usual two months in lightly toasted 300-litre barrels of luxury French oak from the Allier.

A further six months of maturation followed in large steel tanks, where the wine also remained in contact with the lees. The result? A beautifully full-bodied wine with a ripe flavor, nicely balanced oak, and an exceptionally good price-quality ratio.
