This Verdejo from Castillo de Aresan showcases the approachable charm and vibrant freshness of Castilla’s high-altitude vineyards. Situated at 750 m above sea level, the estate benefits from cooler temperatures and strong diurnal variation, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly while retaining natural acidity and aromatic intensity. The vineyards are farmed entirely organically, with minimal intervention and a fully vegan approach, producing wines that express purity and terroir.
Tasting Notes:
Pale straw in colour, with subtle green reflections. The nose is fragrant and inviting, revealing stone fruits such as peach and apricot, layered with delicate almond nuances. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively, un-oaked, with a crisp, balanced finish that accentuates its bright fruit character.
Winemaking:
Hand-harvested grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve varietal purity and freshness. The wine is kept on fine lees to enhance texture, while no oak or animal-derived products are used, reflecting the estate’s vegan philosophy.
Food Pairing:
Perfect with light seafood, fresh salads, grilled vegetables, or as an elegant aperitif, where its natural acidity and fruit brightness can shine.
ABV: 12%
