RUEDA: 251% growth in a ten year period
DENOMINACIÓN DE ORIGEN: RuedaTIPO DE VINO: Blanco Joven VARIEDAD DE UVA: 100% VerdejoGRADO ALCOHÓLICO: 13%GASTRONOMÍA: Arroces marineros. Cefalópodos, quesos, bacalao o salmónTEMPERATURA DE SERVICIO: 7-10 º C
ELABORACIÓN: Tras controlar la maduración se realiza la vendimia nocturna en el mes de septiembre para aprovechar las frescas temperaturas que ayudan a preservar los aromas. Se efectúa una ligera maceración en frío para potenciar la intensidad aromática del mosto, antes de su fermentación controlada a bajas temperaturas durante un período de 18 días.
NOTAS DE CATA: Atractivo color amarillo pajizo con irisaciones verdo-sas. En nariz nos encontramos con toda la tipicidad de la verdejo: hinojo, heno recién cortado y frutas tropicales (piña y mango). Su paso por boca es untuoso con un gran final afrutado y una acidez refres-cante.

WINE-MAKING PROCESS: After keeping a careful eye on the ripening process, the night harvest is carried out in the month of September to take advantage of the cooler temperatures which help to preserve the aromas. The grapes undergo cold maceration in order to accentuate the must's aromatic intensity, before controlled fermentation at low temperatures over a period of 18 days.
TASTING NOTES: An attractive straw-yellow colour with greenish iridescences. Its nose offers everything that could be expected from the Verdejo variety: fennel, freshly mown hay and tropical fruits (pineapple and mango). On the palate it is buttery with a fine fruity finish and refreshing acidity.

ELABORACIÓN: Método tradicional o “champenoise”. Tras obtener el vino base con una variedad blanca tan perfumada como la Macabeo y de otra variedad con cuerpo como la Chardonnay, se efectúa una crianza en botella durante un mínimo de 12 meses. Durante este periodo las botellas permanecen en posición horizontal, denominada “en rima”, a una temperatura constante de unos 15ºC, para así realizar una segunda fermentación acumulando las levaduras a lo largo de la botella.
NOTAS DE CATA: Color amarillo pajizo, de burbuja fina y persistente. El aroma es limpio y afrutado, con un marcado carácter cítrico y con un fondo de notas florales. Ofrece una magnífica presencia en la boca gracias a la variedad Chardonnay mostrándose seco y al mismo tiempo frutal, de un largo retrogusto, con el carbónico muy bien integrado.

WINE-MAKING PROCESS: Traditional method or “champenoise” method. Once the cuvée has been obtained from a white perfumed variety such as Macabeo with the combination of a full bodied Char-donnay, it is aged in the bottle for a minimum of 12 months. During this time the bottles are kept horizontal, called ‘ageing in stacks’, at a constant temperature of 15ºC, in order to carry out a second fermenta-tion gathering the lees along the length of the bottle.
TASTING NOTES: Straw yellow colour, with elegant and persistent bubbles. Clean and fruity aroma with prominent citrus character and an undertone of floral notes. The full bodied Chardonnay offers a mag-nificent presence on the palate, dry but at the same time fruity, and a lingering aftertaste with very well balanced carbonic gas.
