Alvarez y Diez, Silga Verdejo, DO Rueda, Spain, 2023

Viticulture

A combination of some of the oldest vines in the D.O, poor soils and high density planting help to contribute to the exemplary quality of fruit harvested by Alvarez y Diez which is amply demonstrated in the finished wine. Newer plantings are machine harvested at night whilst the old vines are all hand harvested.

Winemaking

A cold maceration for over eight hours, then a controlled cold-fermentation in stainless steel, at a maximum of 14º C for 15 days. The wine is then gently clarified and stabilised before bottling.

Tasting Note

Beautiful green-fruit aromas combine with a hint of citrus fruits to give a fresh and vibrant nose. Fresh, varietal-fruit with citrus notes and excellent acidity.

Food matching

This light and zesty wine is perfect with simple seafood, chicken dishes and crisp salads.
