Rueda Verdejo 2023

750ml

This wine, produced from sustainably farmed, pre-phylloxera vineyards in the heart of Rueda, takes its name — “El Portalon” or “Big Door Vineyard” from the vineyard from which its grapes are sourced (years ago, the vineyard’s entrance was a large stone doorway.) Fermented in steel and aged for 3 months before bottling, the finished wine is fresh and expressive, with notes of citrus, hay, fennel, and tropical fruits. Lush and silky on the palate, this is a great partner for spicy shrimp, tapas, and picnics with friends.
