Valdubón Verdejo White wine

Valdubón Verdejo 2020 is a remarkable white wine that beautifully embodies the essence of the Verdejo grape. Produced by Bodegas Valdubón, this vintage showcases a meticulous blend of traditional winemaking techniques, with part of the grapes fermented in stainless steel tanks and part in oak barrels. The grapes used for the fermentation in stainless steel come from trained vines averaging 12 years of age, with a careful pressing yield of less than 72%. Meanwhile, the selection for barrel fermentation is made from older bush-trained vines over 25 years old, ensuring that the extraction of must is maximized at 60%.

The winemaking process saw diligent monitoring of the grapes' maturation, emphasizing yield control and ripeness to guarantee that the fruit is harvested in optimal condition. In the glass, Valdubón Verdejo exhibits a clean, brilliant appearance with a light yellow hue complemented by greenish glints.

On the nose, it reveals its true potential with an intense bouquet showcasing aniseed and herbal notes distinctive to the variety, enriched by mineral undertones, white flowers, fennel, with hints of spices, vanilla, and coconut. The palate offers a vibrant and joyful entry, bursting with ripe white fruit balanced by excellent acidity. Following its initial attack, it envelops the mouth with a glyceric texture, a hallmark of its extended aging on lees, leading to a long, refreshing finish with a subtly bitter aftertaste. Notes of coconut and vanilla emerge, adding layers of complexity that reflect its time in barrels.

This wine is not just a drink; it's an experience that captures the unique character of the Verdejo grape and the artistry of Spanish winemaking. Perfect for enjoying on its own or paired with a variety of dishes, Valdubón Verdejo 2020 is a must-try for any wine enthusiast.
