About Rueda 2017 Marques De Riscal
Bodegas Marqués de Riscal S.L. has over 500 acres of vineyards planted with among other grapes, the indigenous Verdejo variety. A versatile grape with a lot of character and personality, it is very well suited to the extreme conditions of the region, allowing us to produce fresh young wines or cask-fermented whites. The Verdejo grape is stemmed and cooled and left to macerate in order to extract the maximum aroma from the skins and increase the smooth oiliness of the wine. The must, once fined and clear undergoes slow fermentation at a controlled temperature for 20 days, in order to preserve the varieties characteristic fruitiness. This 100% Verdejo Rueda shows a bright, straw-yellow color. On the nose it has high aromatic intensity, with tropical fruit and hints of fennel and fresh grass. In the mouth it is both syrupy smooth and refreshing, with a slightly bitter finish which is typical of the variety making it long and pleasant to drink. Overall it is a fresh, well-balanced wine.
