The fresh, exuberantly fragrant side of Castilla y León comes fully to the fore in this white wine. Tropical fruit and a herbal touch combine with a rounded taste and lively acidity, giving this white wine more to offer than just a fresh first sip. The nocturnal harvest perfectly suits this style: the fruit arrives cool, so its aromas are preserved as much as possible from the start.
The alternation between cool nights and sunny days plays a central role in the story of Nebla.
- Location / origin: The wine comes from Castilla y León in the Spanish interior and carries the origin designation Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León. It is a region with a long tradition of viticulture and distinct seasonal changes.
- Climate & influences: For Nebla, it is all about the combination of nocturnal cooling, morning mist, and the midday sun. The warmth helps the grapes ripen, while the cooler hours contribute to preserving freshness and aromas.
Cool conditions are also maintained in the cellar to preserve the fragrant, fruity style.
- Harvest & maceration: After checking for ripeness, the grapes are harvested at night in September. A light, cold maceration follows before fermentation, during which aromatic substances from the grapes are transferred into the juice. Cool processing helps protect the fresh aromas.
- Fermentation: The must ferments for 18 days at a controlled, low temperature. During this fermentation, yeasts convert the natural grape sugars into alcohol. By controlling the temperature, volatile aromatic compounds are better preserved, and the wine maintains its lively fruit character.
Nebla gives full scope to the recognizable herbal and fruity characteristics of Verdejo.
- 100% Verdejo – Castilla y León: Verdejo combines aromatic expression with fresh acidity and can also provide a pleasant breadth on the palate. That combination explains why this wine comes across as both invigorating and rounded.
