Concentrated citrus and mineral aromas. Notes of Mediterranean herbs and juicy yellow fruit with stony complexity on the palate, finishing with refreshing, peristent acidity.

100% Verdejo sourced from a 17th century vineyard in La Seca, Valladolid, D.O. Rueda at 1575-1970 feet. Head-pruned, dry farmed vines. Hand harvested, destemmed and macerated on skins prior to pressing; fermented at 57ºF for 18 – 20 days; aged on fine lees 4 months before bottling.

Martínsancho is Ángel Rodríguez’ mid 19th-century vineyard in the Rueda. This special vineyard and Ángel himself are responsible for the preservation of Rueda’s indigenous Verdejo grape. Planted in 1972, cuttings from this special vineyard were used in 1976 to establish a 10.11 ha (25-acre) vineyard planted in the traditional head-pruned fashion and dry-farmed. Low yield “Verdejo” produces wines with a delicate floral nose, viscosity, a long finish.

Pale straw to the eye, this wine offers aromas of peach, green apple and a hint of petrol. Dried herb notes and a touch of mint sit side by side with pineapple, passion fruit and nectarine flavors set into a vein of expressive acidity that lingers in the mouth. Best Buy -M.D.
