Product Description
Details
Here is the new vintage of Belondrade y Lurton, arguably the most prestigious Spanish white wine from the DO Rueda.
A varietal Verdejo, this Crianza white wine of the Belondrade winery is made from over 30-year-old vineyards located at an altitude of 750 metres above sea level. The organically farmed vines grow in soils composed of sand and pebble stones that bring a distinctive freshness and complexity to the wine.
Each plot was separately harvested and vinified. First, the grapes were cold-soaked and spontaneously fermented with their own yeasts in 300-litre French oak barrels. After that, Belondrade y Lurton 2019 aged on its lees in the barrels for 10 months with periodic stirrings.
Then this Verdejo from Rueda was blended and aged for a further 5 months before its commercial release.
Aerate 30 minutes before drinking.

Additional Information
| Appearance | The white wine Belondrade y Lurton has a straw yellow colour with some golden tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This is an intense, suggestive Verdejo by winemaker Didier Belondrade. Notes of toast, spices and balsam, alongside aromas of white fruit, citrus, hay, bitter herbs and flowers over a subtle, exquisite, distinctive mineral background which is the mark of a great terroir. |
| Palate | Bold and palate-coating, this white wine of the Belondrade winery shows a tight, concentrated complexity that will slowly unfurl over the next years. Full of richness and nuance, showing notes of tropical fruit, pomelo, bitter herbs, dry earth and white flowers. Great acidity and long, delicately bitter finish. |
| Our personal opinion | An exquisitely crafted wine from Rueda, the classy Belondrade y Lurton 2019 captures like few others the unique personality of the Verdejo grape. |

I drank this at a Castilian restaurant with a roast suckling pig. A match made in heaven. The wine is dense, tangy and delicately bitter. I've had quite a lot of bottles since that day.

One of Spain's great white wines, and a very good wine to age for some years too. It stands comparison with many first-class white wines around the world.
