There are, of course, many wines made from the Verdejo grape, but this white wine from Valmoro is truly special. It's a wine with a great deal of freshness, purity, and power thanks to the small addition of Sauvignon Blanc. After some research, we discovered that the big name behind Valmoro wines is Alverez Diez. This magnificent winery owns no fewer than one hundred hectares of vineyards in some of Spain's most beautiful locations. For this Valmoro Verdejo, we travel to the Rueda region. Here, the Valmoro Verdejo's very old vines are grown, producing a truly magnificent and full harvest.
Verdejo grapes harvested at night
The old vineyard is situated at a very high altitude, giving the Verdejo bunches plenty of sunshine, but they also experience intense coolness. The dramatic difference between day and night temperatures allows the bunches to grow slowly and evenly. The coolness helps the bunches retain their freshness and a natural mineral note. When the harvest is ripe, the Valmoro winemaker has the bunches brought in at night. This gives this white wine an extra touch, and you can certainly taste it. Upon arrival, all bunches are rigorously inspected; only the finest are pressed and aged for a full three months in the Valmoro cellars.This Valmoro Rueda Verdejo is wonderfully fresh
Upon pouring, we first see a beautiful, clear color with a light yellow and green shimmer. Nosing the glass, we smell the freshness in this white wine. We noted nuances of lime and pear, as well as grapefruit, gooseberry, and fennel. As soon as we take a sip, our palate is filled with impressions of fresh white and citrus fruit, with gooseberries and lime taking center stage. The cheerful bouquet gives a refreshing feeling, with room for green herbs and pineapple. In short, for this price, a truly excellent glass of wine. And yes, we're just waiting for it to be showered with awards; the first one has already been won!Product details
