THE AWARDS FOR OUR RUEDA WINES

Finally we have the results of our verdejo wines vintage 2016!

 

The Verdejo grapes are harvested at night. This means that the grapes enter the cellar at the lower night-time temperature of 10–15 °C (50–59 °F) instead of the daytime temperature, which can be as high as 28–30 °C (82–86 °F) in September. Lower temperatures means less oxidation, or browning of the juice. Verdejo wines are aromatic, often soft, and full-bodied.

 

Starting with Calamar verdejo, Emporio Wines own brand from Rueda has a double medal!

Tasting Notes:

Colour: medium intensity straw yelow colour with deep green reflections. Bright and well presented.

Aroma: Intense fleshy white fruit (pear, apple ) and tropical fruit predominate.Touches of herbacious plants ( hay, fennel ), balsamic echoes and aniseed flavoured background with notesf white flowers.

Palate: fresh elegant and smooth, but well structured, tasty and aromatic. Complex and lingering finish with pleasant bitter touches typical of this variety.
