This winery began in the renowned Rioja region. After a few years, however, they began searching for new vineyards. They found new happiness in the Valencian wine region, in the Utiel Requena region. There, they founded Los Patos and produced a white wine made from Viura and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. They also produced a very full-bodied and powerful red wine made from Bobal and Syrah grapes. The latest addition to Los Patos's lineup was a rosé made from Bobal.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Unparalleled beauty of Los Patos wines\u003c\/h2\u003e \nThe Los Patos wine series is known for its purity, honesty, and cleanness.

A winery that more than deserves its status in Spain. Founded in 1850, the winery has been renowned since its first harvest. They produce beautiful wines known for their excellent value for money. This is partly due to the extensive investments the winery has made in recent years. For example, they have a completely renovated winery with all the latest winemaking techniques. Yet, Cruz de Castillo still maintains the old Spanish winemaking traditions, which is one of the reasons why the Los Patos wines are so outstanding.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The old vineyard in Utiel Requena\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe vineyards for this Los Patos white wine are located in the Utiel Requena region of Valencia. They are filled with the Viura and Sauvignon Blanc grape varieties, which complement each other perfectly in this Los Patos white wine. The name \"Los Patos\" comes from the ducks (Patos) that roam the vineyards early in the morning. They are prized by the family, as they significantly influence the soil structure. Thanks to the perfect climate in Utiel Requena, Valencia, with abundant sunshine and intense solar heat, the bunches ripen perfectly. The fresh breeze contributes to the cooling effect, allowing the Viura and Sauvignon Blanc to retain their freshness, which you can taste in this white wine.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e This white Los Patos wine is wonderfully fresh\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nAll bunches are harvested early in the morning to protect the harvest from oxidation and bruising during transport to Cruz de Castillo. The freshness remains in the bunches, and we taste and smell it in this wine. The Viura and Sauvignon Blanc grapes form a kind of golden marriage in this white wine, giving it its beautiful light yellow color with green glints in the glass. It leaves the glass with aromas of white fruit, mixed with green herbs and a touch of citrus. On the palate, it offers tremendous freshness and a richness of apple, pear, and lime. The finish and palate also reveal nuances of gooseberry and lychee. What a fine white wine, and at this price point.","brand":"Cordier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775918444623,"sku":"11405","price":6.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/los-patos-viura-sauvignon-blanc_11405.webp?v=1770195465"},{"product_id":"los-patos-bobal-rose","title":"Los Patos Bobal Rose","description":"What a fantastic rosé from the heart of the Valencia region, Utiel Requena. The big name behind Los Patos wines is the Cruz de Castillo winery, and they're well-known among wine connoisseurs. Since 1850, they've been crafting the finest Spanish wines, with the primary goal of offering excellent value for money. Well, that's certainly true with this Los Patos Bobal Rosé! This has been achieved in part by the winery's extensive investment. For example, they have a completely renovated winery equipped with all the latest technologies. We can safely say that Los Patos is made with a modern touch while preserving ancient Spanish winemaking traditions.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The harvest of the Bobal grape\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis rosé is made with Bobal grapes grown in old vineyards in the Utiel region of Valencia. The vineyard's elevated position provides the Bobal grapes with more cooling, a characteristic we taste in the fresh style of this Los Patos Rosé. The winery takes its name from the ducks known as Patos. These ducks roam the vineyards every morning, foraging for food and naturally turning the soil. They also foster biodiversity. All this results in a unique harvest, and the habitat is crucial. The Bobal bunches receive ample sunshine, but also the coolness of the night and the mountain breezes.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The aroma and taste of the Los Patos Rosé\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nWhen the grapes are harvested early in the morning, the skins ripen for a very short time. This creates the beautiful light color comparable to a Provence rosé. With our nose to the glass, we smell a broad bouquet of red fruit, recalling strawberries, raspberries, and some berries. The light spiciness makes everything very exciting, and we can't wait to take a sip. On the palate, the tongue is gently stimulated by fresh flavors of citrus and red apple, before the red fruit quickly emerges. The beautiful, refreshing finish completes the whole experience.","brand":"Cordier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775804837967,"sku":"11406","price":6.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/los-patos-bobal-rose_11406.webp?v=1770195463"},{"product_id":"los-patos-bobal-syrah","title":"Los Patos Bobal Syrah","description":"One of our first notes for this wine was: unparalleled beauty! Because that's absolutely what this red wine is, a beautiful blend of Bobal and Syrah grapes from Utiel Requena in Valencia. The Los Patos winery belongs to the Cruz de Castillo family, which is no stranger to Spanish viticulture. The winery has incredible knowledge of the various Spanish wine regions and, since its founding in 1850, has been producing the finest wines. Among them is this red Los Patos Bobal Syrah, which is quite remarkable for its price point. This is partly due to the modern winery at Cruz de Castillo's disposal. They also produce this red wine with a modern touch while preserving old Spanish winemaking traditions. All of this comes together in this Los Patos red wine.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The harvest of the Bobal and Syrah grapes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nFor this red wine, we travel to the Valencia region and, for a closer look, to the Utiel Requena region. Here, on a south-facing slope, lie the vineyards for this red Los Patos. They are filled with Bobal and Syrah grapes, which complement each other perfectly in this red wine. The bunches enjoy the many hours of sunshine but also the coolness. This coolness, brought by the wind from the mountaintops, provides the harvest with the perfect mix of warmth and coolness during the growing season. This allows the harvest to mature slowly and evenly, drawing considerable strength from the rich soil structure. The harvest is truly fantastic!\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The ripe aroma and taste of this red Los Patos\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nBoth grape varieties are harvested and processed separately. Only the finest bunches nourish this red wine, and after pressing, the winemaker at Cruz de Castillo creates the blend. And leave it to him; the result is astonishing. It begins with the pouring, as we see a dark red color with a slight purple sheen. The aroma quickly reveals the Syrah grape, with hints of spice, black fruit, and a touch of pepper. This pleasant aroma continues into the taste, and the palate is teased with blackberries and cherries, along with some spice and a hint of dark chocolate. The finish is ripe and smooth, leaving a warm feeling right up to the last sip.","brand":"Cordier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775806672975,"sku":"11407","price":6.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/los-patos-bobal-syrah_11407.webp?v=1770195466"}],"url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/collections\/wijnhuis-los-patos.oembed","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
