The Verdejo grapes grow in a very high-altitude vineyard, 600 to 800 meters above sea level. Here, the ancient vines enjoy the perfect climate for Verdejo grapes. The sun provides ample warmth, while the bunches also receive sufficient cooling. This coolness comes from the ocean breeze that constantly blows through the vineyards in Rueda. This allows the bunches to retain their freshness, resulting in a soft and mineral-rich harvest.
The label depicts the moon, and that has a significant influence on this white Luna Verde Rueda Verdejo wine. As soon as all the bunches are ripe, they are harvested by hand in the light of the moon. Harvesting the Verdejo grapes begins in the middle of the night to guarantee quality and freshness. Well, that's perfectly fine; when pouring this Luna Verde Rueda Verdejo, we see a beautiful, clear color with a green sheen. It smells fantastic from the glass! Beautiful notes of green apples, passion fruit, and mint leaves make everything very appealing. The palate is pure indulgence, with beautiful ripe flavors of citrus fruit, accompanied by hints of green apples and pears. Later, as this white wine swirls in the mouth, impressions of fennel, grapefruit, and a touch of green pepper also emerge. The finish is fresh and rich, which completes the whole experience of this white wine.
The Luna Verde Rueda Verdejo white wine is a versatile wine. It also has its own preferences, making it a perfect pairing with white meats like chicken or turkey. A fresh salad or pasta dish with fish is also a perfect match. Because Luna Verde Rueda Verdejo is wonderfully refreshing, it also pairs well with tapas and various fish dishes.
