Tasting Note: Pale straw-yellow colour. The nose reveals pleasant aromas of blossom and herbs, such as fennel, typical of the Verdejo variety. On the palate it has a fresh, supple sensation with a slight final bitterness which gives it complexity and the very characteristic personality of wines of this variety.
Enjoy With: Serve chilled. Pairs well with fish, shellfish, ham, pasta, chicken and cold meats.
Dry / Sweet: Dry, white wine.
Terroir / Region: In the D.O Rueda zone, Marqués de Riscal has 225 hectares of vineyard in which it grows, among other varieties, the indigenous Verdejo vine. A versatile grape with lots of character and personality, it is well suited to the area’s extreme conditions, making it possible to obtain fresh white or cask-fermented white wines.
Producer: As far back as 1858, Marques de Riscal became the first winery in the Rioja to produce wines following the Bordeaux method and in 1972, was the first winery to promote the Rueda Designation of Origin, where it produced its famous Marqués de Riscal white wines.
