Product Description
Details
We are happy to present the 2022 vintage of the wine Belondrade y Lurton, undoubtedly the most prestigious Spanish white wine from DO Rueda.
A varietal Verdejo, this Crianza white wine of the Belondrade winery is sourced from 23 plots of 30-year-old vineyards sitting at 750 metres above sea level. The certified organic vineyards have sand and pebble soils 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, the white wine Belondrade y Lurton 2022 was aged on lees for 9 months with periodic stirrings.
Finally, this white wine from Rueda by famed French winemaker Didier Belondrade was blended and aged for some months before its commercial release.
Aerate this white wine fermented and aged on lees 30 minutes before drinking.

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.
