The sweet expression of verdejo

Climatic year

The 2015 growth cycle was pretty unusual with unseasonably warm temperatures in winter,very few frosts and scarce rainfall. This resulted in the first vegetative bleeding by the end of March. Rising temperatures and increased rainfall in April led to bud-break. Some frosts in the second fortnight of May affected the different parcels in different ways which resulted in low-yield but higher quality vintage. The scarce rainfall over the last months acoupled with the high temperatures throughout the whole growth cycle confirmed the low yield. Harvest took place between September 18 and October 9 as scheduled. Outstanding raw material quality and excellent sanitary conditions.

Grape variety

100% Verdejo grapes from ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines. The vineyard is located at an altitude of 900 metres. The soil is rich in sand and gravelsized pebbles.
