The name LAN is an abbreviation of Logrono, Alava, and Navarra, the three main regions of the Rioja DOC. Despite its short history in winemaking, Bodegas LAN has built an impressive reputation thanks to its innovative techniques and use of the region's finest vineyards. This combination allows them to produce exquisite wines that honor Rioja tradition while simultaneously being innovative.\n\n\n \nThe Verdejo grapes are sourced from their own vineyards at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level. LAN also imports Verdejo grapes from other suppliers, which they then blend with their own. The grapes are grown on pebbled soil. When the grapes are optimally ripe, they are harvested at night to keep them cool. Fermentation begins immediately in the winery at low temperatures before pressing, preserving all the aromas.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The full, creamy and fresh character of LAN Rueda Verdejo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The LAN Rueda Verdejo is a refined and elegant wine. The aroma reveals aromas of white fruit with hints of anise in the background. The palate immediately reveals full, rich notes, with a wonderfully creamy texture. The sparkling acidity provides a pleasant tingle on the palate and gives the wine a fresh and lively character. A complex wine that perfectly reflects the characteristics of the Verdejo grape.","brand":"Wijntransport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775848845391,"sku":"14191","price":9.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/lan-rueda-verdejo_14191.webp?v=1771589472"}],"url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/collections\/wijnhuis-bodega-lan.oembed","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
