Belondrade y Lurtón White wine
The Belondrade y Lurtón white wine from the 2023 vintage is an exceptional representation of the Bodegas Belondrade y Lurtón. This emblematic wine originates exclusively from our organic estate, Quinta San Diego, where each plot is hand-harvested to ensure the highest quality. The grapes are fermented and aged separately on their lees in French oak barrels, employing both spontaneous and controlled alcoholic fermentation processes. After a meticulous aging period of 9 months on the lees, a careful selection and blending take place. The entire production is bottled simultaneously and is allowed to rest for a minimum of 5 months before it reaches the market, ensuring optimal flavor development.
This wine is designed for consumption over the next 6 to 8 years, during which it will showcase its remarkable qualities. Displaying a beautiful golden yellow color and a dense texture, the aromas it offers are truly spectacular. The integration of fruit and wood is seamless, featuring white stone fruits such as peach and apricot, alongside floral notes. The elegant oak from the French barrels contributes creaminess and hints of pastry, complementing the varietal character of Verdejo with tropical and herbaceous undertones, all culminating in a delightful citrus lift that makes it unforgettable.
On the palate, Belondrade y Lurtón is equally impressive and balanced. It is silky, luscious, and possesses good acidity, with a hint of bitterness and anise typical of Verdejo, leading to a long finish that envelops the mouth and awakens the senses. It pairs exceptionally well with almost any type of meat or fish with sauces, making it a versatile choice for any dining occasion. Experience the excellence of this wine, and let it enhance your culinary adventures.
