A wine with the Rueda Denomination of Origin made 100% with the Verdejo variety grape from their own vineyards located at 700 meters of altitude on gravelly soils. The 2021 vintage that today goes on the market of Rivendell Verdejo Ecológico only has 3,577 numbered bottles. A new style of winemaking by Bodegas el Inicio oenologist and technical director, Ángel Luis Margüello, who has decided for this wine to spontaneously ferment 40% of the grapes in French oak barrels, remaining on its lees for 6 months. The remaining 60% has been made in a steel tank for the same time with the lees.
The result, a definitive coupage that offers the typical freshness of Rueda wines together with a slight touch of wood that adds complexity on the palate and differentiates this ecological Verdejo from traditional wines.
