Editor Choice: Bodegas de los Herederos del Marqués de Riscal has 220 hectares with an average age of 25 years, among which part is planted with the indigenous Verdejo grape variety. It is a versatile grape with plenty of character which adapts very well to the extreme conditions of the region, making it possible to produce fresh, crisp or barrel-fermented white wines. Once the alcoholic fermentation has finished, the wine remains in contact with the lees in stainless steel tanks for between 1 and 2 months. The lees which are deposited at the bottom of the tank are moved weekly with the nitrogen (battonnage). After a short time of maturing, the wine will be bottled between the months of January and March following the harvest.
Food pairing: This wine pairs well with fish, shellfish, ham, pasta dishes, chicken and cold meat.
Maturity Values: mature
