Marques de Caceres, Excellens Verdejo, Rueda, Spain, White, 75cl

Description

Producer: Marques De Caceres

Country: Spain

Region: Rueda

Colour: White 

Grape Variety: 100% Verdejo

Vineyard and yields: Our own vineyards in Serrada (102ha) and La Seca (23ha) are planted mainly with Verdejo. These are cultivated with care and yields are moderate (around 6.800kg per HA or 48HL/HA in 2014) allowing us to reveal in full the character derived from this superb variety and the virtues of this area within the Rueda D.O.

Soil: The quality of our vineyards is first-rate: these are planted on poor, gravelly, sandy soils and some brownish-grey, limestone soils.

Predominant Climate: Continental with marked seasons.

Harvesting: The grapes are collected during the night when temperatures are cooler so as to keep intact and strengthen their attributes.

Vinification: Following collection during the night in perfect condition, the grapes are chilled before the must is selected using a gentle pressing process. Fermentation takes place on the finest lees at controlled temperatures of 15-17ºC. Afterwards, the wine is kept on its finest lees until just before stabilisation and bottling.

Tasting Notes: Made from grapes grown in small parcels of moderate yields, this wine shows superb class. Fresh and fragrant bouquet of minerals, lychees and a hint of fennel. Delicious and well- balanced in the mouth where its lively character lingers on the palate.

Serving Temperature: 6-8°C.

Alcoholic Content: 13,5%.
