Lively, aromatic whites with sharp acidity and a sleek palate, with intense aromas of grapefruit, lime, fresh herbs, fennel, green almond and saline notes. Typically slightly bitter finish. Absolute star of Rueda DO in Castile-León, now widely exported. Also made as lees-aged and oak-influenced structured cuvées. Native Spanish variety, an ancient Castilian grape.
DOP of northwest Zamora (62 communes in the Esla, Tera, Órbigo and Eria valleys), birthplace of Prieto Picudo. Signature indigenous Prieto Picudo — reds and rosés with intense notes of wild strawberry, blueberry, blue flowers and a honeyed, gourmand touch, firm tannins and characteristic structure. Traditional rosé with its emblematic slight sparkle (aguja). Tempranillo, Mencía and Garnacha as complements.
