Description
This is the first of the wines from the Belondrade winery, and one of the best white wines in Spain. A mature, elegant white wine inspired by the Burgundy whites, that has in fact surpassed all expectations when it comes to quality from the Verdejo, the indigenous grape varietal of Castile. The wine has also undergone diligent ageing in oak of the highest quality and will continue to develop most favourably in the bottle for a further seven to eight years.
“The iconic white 2024 Belondrade y Lurton feels elegant and harmonious. It was produced with Verdejo from their organic vineyard in the Quinta San Diego estate property in La Seca and fermented by plot with indigenous yeasts in barrels, where it matured between nine and 12 months with lees. It’s not a shy vintage; it hits 14.5% alcohol, but the wine is very balanced, clean and precise with very good freshness and acidity. It reveals the classical bitter touch in the finish.”
