2. Sommelier Notes
Visual Phase
It displays a pale golden yellow color with greenish reflections. Its brightness and visual density suggest the structure gained from its time in barrels.
Olfactory Phase
Complex and suggestive profile. Notes of ripe white fruit (pear and apple) intertwine with fennel, subtle hints of vanilla, and an elegant background of dried fruits and pastry notes.
Taste Phase
Broad entry with remarkable volume. The palate is silky and unctuous; the integrated citrus acidity masterfully balances the toasted notes of the wood, culminating in a persistent and round finish.

5. Technical Data and Production
The use of 500-liter French oak barrels is key in the production of this D.O. Rueda wine: it allows for gentle oxygenation and a much finer integration of the wood than conventional barrels. Its organic, minimal-impact viticulture guarantees the purity of the Verdejo grape. Recommended aging potential: 2 years.
