José Pariente Verdejo White wine
Discover the exquisite José Pariente Verdejo, a premium 100% Verdejo white wine crafted in 2024 by Bodegas José Pariente. This exceptional wine is made from grapes sourced from the family-owned vineyards, which are around 30 years old, as well as from old vines tended by small local growers. The vineyards thrive in a unique soil composition, characterized by pebbles and limestone outcrops, offering a distinct terroir that influences the wine's character. The continental climate with Atlantic influences compels the vines to delve deep into the soil for water, resulting in concentrated flavors.
The winemaking process begins with a careful cold maceration lasting between 8 to 12 hours, followed by a gentle pneumatic pressing. Fermentation occurs at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks, where the wine remains on its lees until bottling, enhancing its complexity and mouthfeel.
Visually, José Pariente Verdejo presents a brilliant pale yellow hue with greenish reflections. The nose delights with an intense, elegant aroma that is fresh and complex, showcasing a rich array of fruit notes including stone fruits like peach, white fruits such as pear, and refreshing citrus tones like lemon and grapefruit. Complementing these fruity aromas are hints of fennel, underbrush, and a subtle balsamic finish.
On the palate, the fresh fruitiness shines through again, offering a luscious, elegant mouthfeel balanced by a gentle bitterness characteristic of the Verdejo variety. Its impressive structure ensures a long-lasting finish, with a complex and intense retro-nasal experience.
This wine is a perfect companion for a variety of occasions; it pairs beautifully with appetizers, seafood dishes, pasta, rice, and white meats. It also complements smoked products, soft cheeses, and traditional Serrano ham. Indulge in the delightful flavors of José Pariente Verdejo and elevate your dining experience.
