Merinas Verdejo

Learn More About This Wine

Merinas are the noblest breed of sheep, famous for their quality of wool. The vineyards are nestled deep in the heart of Castile and are still passed over by flocks of their annual migration – a symbol of the commitment to organic and sustainable viticulture. Through organic viticulture and respectful winemaking, they produce wines of great purity, reflecting the unique personality of the land and grape varieties. 

Produced from their own, organically farmed vineyards in Uclés (Castile, Spain), managed as an integrated ecosystem and studded with centenary oak trees. The region’s continental climate with sunny days and cool nights allows it to achieve intense fruit and excellent varietal definition, while retaining remarkable freshness. 

Grapes were picked early morning and quickly transferred to the winery for destemming and short prefermentative cold maceration, followed by pneumatic pressing and fermentation in stainless steel vats at around 16 degrees Celsius. MLF was prevented by chilling, cold stabilized and lightly filtered prior to bottling. 

A crisp, aromatic white wine, showing great purity of aromas and a precise expression of the Verdejo grape. Bright, pale straw yellow with intense, fresh notes of grass, fennel and white pepper. Dry but juicy on the palate, with the moderate alcohol balanced by a persistent, slightly mineral finish. Excellent as an aperitivo and with pasta, salads, poultry and fish dishes.
