Bright, straw-yellow colour. As you expect from the Verdejo variety, the wine shows high aromatic intensity on the nose, with aromas of tropical fruit and also hints of fennel and fresh floral. Fresh yet smooth on the palate with a slightly bitter finish which is typical of the variety, giving it a long, pleasant finish. Overall it can be enjoyed as a fresh, balanced wine.

The destemmed, refrigerated Verdejo grapes, are macerated at cool temperatures so as to extract the maximum aromas from the skins and increase the supple smoothness of the wine. The clear, lightly decanted ferments slowly for 20 days at a controlled temperature of between 13ºC and 15ºC, in order to preserve the fruity character of this variety. After a short time in the stainless steel tank the wine will be bottled between the months of January and March of the new year following the harvest.
