This varietal old-vines Verdejo is quite complex, with notes of citrus, ripe pineapple, a panoply of aromatic herbs and some floral remembrances. In the background we perceive some dry earth undertones, smoky hints and a delicate touch of oak.

Excellent acidity and long finish reminiscent of citrus, toast and dry earth.

Warning: decant the wine 1 HOUR minimum. Trust me. Then it will start to sing. However, it will be much better in 3 or 4 years.
