The wine region of Rueda
Benchmark for lively Spanish whites on the high plateaus of Castilla-León. Signature Verdejo: aromatic dry whites with notes of grapefruit, exotic fruit, cut grass, anise and fennel, a characteristic slightly bitter finish and a taut palate. Direct style, ideal as an aperitif. Also lively Sauvignon Blanc, ample Viura and historic Palomino.
The wine region of Castille-et-Léon
Cradle of great Castilian reds on high-altitude plateaus (450-1000 m) of the Duero. Tempranillo king (Tinto Fino, Tinta de Toro): powerful, structured reds with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, leather and spices, firm tannins and length worthy of long ageing. Stars: Ribera del Duero (Vega Sicilia, Pingus), fleshy Toro, Bierzo (fresh mineral Mencía). Lively herbaceous Verdejo whites from Rueda, cut grass and citrus.
The word of the wine: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
