White and red wines from DO Rueda, Spain

<p style="font-size: 13px;"><strong>VARIETY</strong>: 100%&nbsp;Verdejo</p> <p style="font-size: 13px;">Talking about Appellation Rueda means reiterating the quality of the best white wines in Spain at the moment.This is something that shouldn´t surprise, as these wines were already served at the Court of King Felipe III in Valladolid at the end of the 16th Century, who passed a decree to prevent the fraud of his preferred white wines. King Carlos III personally authorised the export of the famous Rueda wines to London in the middle of the 18th century. The origin of the Verdejo variety in the region goes back to the time when the Mozarabs due to their seasonal migration came to Castile where they settled. For three generations Diez de la Hoz family has dedicated to the cultivation of vines since the last Century. They own more than 100 hectares of vineyards throughout the municipal area of Rueda in the heart of D.O. Rueda. The vineyards are cultivated on the trellis system.</p> <p style="font-size: 13px;"><strong>FOOD MATCHING</strong>: Fish, seafood, cheese, fruit, desserts. Due to the excellent backbone of Verdejo it is perfect for meat and specially for cold cured meat.</p> <p style="font-size: 13px;"><strong>VINIFICATION</strong>: A criomaceration at low temperature is performed to extract the major quantity of primary flavours which are very potent in this variety. The fermentation is done at low temperature (9,5-10 ºC) in stainless steel vats respecting potential of the aromatic power of the variety. It is a young white wine without maturation.</p>

<p>Made using 100% Verdejo grapes, this wine expresses the most classic flavours of the region, a wine with a marked diverse character.</p> <p>The grapes come from trellised vineyards; they ferment in stainless steel vats at 15°C for approximately 20 days; matured on yeast lees, clarified and stabilised at -4°C.</p> <p>Greenish yellow with a good depth, clean and shiny. An attractive bouquet bearing a good intensity, with an interesting blend of citrus reminiscence and preserve notes, which carry freshness and maturity. An easy sensation when entering the palate, where hints of ripe fruit and orange crust appear again. A quick, pleasurable mouth feel leaving a rich memory.</p>
