Marqués de Riscal Limousín White wine

Marqués de Riscal Limousín 2023 is a remarkable white wine that showcases the exquisite Verdejo grape, meticulously sourced from old vines pruned in the traditional vaso style. These vines thrive in the top-quality gravelly soils located on the highest terraces along the Duero River. The wine boasts an alcohol content of 13% and reflects the adaptability and excellent acidity of the Verdejo variety, allowing for optimal fermentation and aging on its lees in French oak barrels.

The grapes are hand-harvested in 15 kg boxes to maintain their integrity, which is crucial for minimizing oxidation while preserving the aromas, color, and freshness characteristic of Verdejo. Following a light clarification of the must, fermentation occurs in 600-liter barrels sourced from three distinct regions in France: Allier, Nevers, and Vosges. The wine undergoes aging on lees for about six months, with regular battonnage performed twice a week, ensuring the development of a rich flavor profile.

This pale golden wine is complex and elegant, offering a luscious mouthfeel complemented by subtle notes of fine lees, dried fruits, and toasted wood. Marqués de Riscal Limousín pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, such as fish in sauce, white meats, roasted lamb, grilled vegetables, and legumes, making it a versatile choice for any dining occasion. Experience a taste of Spain with this captivating wine that embodies craftsmanship and tradition.
