Bodegas de los Herederos del Marqués de Riscal has 220 hectares of vineyard with an average age of 25 years which, among others, 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 white wines 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 nitrogen (battonnage). After a short time of maturing, the wine will be bottled between the months of January and March following the harvest.

Bright, straw yellow colour. As you would expect from the Verdejo variety, this wine shows high aromatic intensity on the nose, with aromas of fennel, white flowers and hints of aniseed and fresh grass. Smooth and fresh on the palate, with a persistent finish, typical of the variety, long and pleasant. Altogether, this is a fresh and balanced wine.
