White wine, Verdejo, Bodega Vega Demara
This white wine is made from a carefully selected harvest of grapes, subject to rigorous ripeness monitoring from August onward to ensure they are picked at the optimum moment.
The harvest is carried out at night in order to preserve the grape’s freshness and aromatic quality as much as possible. Upon arrival at the winery, a pre-fermentation maceration is performed at low temperature, between 5 and 10 ºC, for 24 hours, allowing a more intense and refined extraction of the aromas contained in the skins.
It is not aged, which enhances its young, clean and expressive character.
Tasting notes
It displays a bright, clean yellow color with delicate greenish reflections. On the nose, it offers intense aromas of yellow fruits such as peach and apricot, accompanied by subtle aniseed notes. On the palate, it is balanced, with good volume, pleasant acidity and light almond notes. The finish is elegant and persistent.
Pairing
