Peach pit, dried papaya, mangoes and persimmon. Full-bodied and quite waxy, but with some good acidity to carry the rich stone and tropical fruit.

Belondrade and Ossian are considered the best white (Verdejo) wines of Spain. Both are made from very old Verdejo vineyards (with Ossian's being extremely old).
Made with 100% Verdejo yeast, their wine is aged in oak barrels. Before bottling, the wine from the various barrels is blended in stainless steel cuvées. The wine is only lightly filtered. The nose reveals white fruit and lightly toasted aromas from the partially new oak barrels, while the palate reveals ripeness and richness, yet still sufficiently fresh thanks to the perfect balance of acidity. A truly magnificent and special wine. A total of tens of thousands of bottles are produced, with very limited shipments to the Netherlands. Incidentally, 2,500 bottles from the previous harvest went to El Bulli restaurant (connoisseurs consider it one of the best restaurants in the world, located near Barcelona), and it was Johan Cruyff's favorite wine.
This is a scarce 3 liter Jeroboam (double magnum).
FYI: Belondrade always releases its Magnums a year later to allow for additional bottle maturation, and with the 3-liter and 6-liter versions even 2 years later.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Rijp wit en steenfruit met nuances van perzik, mango en licht gebrande eik, een volle, bijna vette textuur maar met heldere, frisse zuren en een subtiele mineraliteit die de smaak schoon houdt. Daardoor vormt deze Belondrade een perfecte match bij gevogelte, witte vis, schelpdieren en kazen omdat de zuurgraad en het eikenhouten profiel rijkere sauzen en romige bereidingen kunnen dragen zonder te overheersen; denk aan geroosterde kip met kruidenboter of een romige kreeftenbisque, gegrilde of in de oven gegaarde zeebaars met citroen en tijm, licht gebakken coquilles met een beurre blanc of rijpe schapen- en geitenkazen en notenkaas. |

The 2017 Belondrade y Lurton continues the move started years ago toward more elegance and freshness and especially wood that is much better integrated and less invasive of the varietal aromas of the delicate Verdejo grape. Despite the warm, dry and challenging style of the year,the wine is elegant and perfumed, fresh and varietal, complex, subtle, clean and precise. This is as good as it gets. Bravo! 2017 was a low-yielding vintage that delivered 95,136 bottles, 1,904 magnums, 200 Jeroboams and 60 Imperials. It was bottled in July 2018.
It's incredible to see Belondrade celebrating its 25th anniversary, as I remember the release of their 1994 Belondrade and Lurton like it was yesterday. It was a wine that changed the appreciation of Rueda, Verdejo and whites from Spain in general. Today, the wines are still the most elegant produced in Rueda, something you see so clear when tasting their wines next to others from the region.

White wines have been made in the Rueda region for centuries. The grandeur of the buildings, churches, monasteries and estates of Nava del Rey and Rueda testify to the enormous wealth in the past. The division of the domains made winemaking so loss-making that many vineyards disappeared. Today the area is very much on the rise again. Didier Belondrade and Brigitte Lurton started making wine in 1994 in Nava del Rey, in the heart of the Denominación. In this old town there is a labyrinth of abandoned cellars. The size of these cellars suggests how much wine was made here in the past. Within the walls of this old town, Belondrade and Lurton have chosen modern winemaking. The Belondrade is considered by many to be the best white wine in Spain, but the Belondrade Apolonio and the great Quinta Clarisa are also there. Very nice.
