Description
Campo Eliseo is the prestigious collaborative project of Francois Lurton, Dany and Michel Rolland. Big names in the contemporary wine world joining forces in Rueda. Francois Lurton is of course very familiar with his Apolonia and Belondrade. The fruit for the Cuvee Alegre comes from vineyards at 600 to 700 meters elevation on the Rueda plateau near Villafranca de Rueda. The altitude provides a good and very desirable temperature fluctuation between day and night and this gives freshness to fruitiness and this is what a good wine always needs.
The Campo Eliseo. This Cuvee Alegre is an excellent Verdejo in the style of Bodega Shaya , and the beautiful Flor de Vetus Verdejo. In terms of style, this wine is aged like the Apolonia from Belondrade or the Quintaluna from Ossian, namely partly fermented in wood and the remaining wine matures sur lie in concrete barrels and stainless steel. The result is a gastronomic wine with a lot of complexity while retaining freshness

Spain: In Spain, the brothers established their vineyards in Rueda and Toro, two of the country's most promising wine regions. In Rueda, they mainly produce white wines from the Verdejo grape, which are known for their freshness and expressive aromas. In Toro, they focus on the Tinta de Toro grape, a local variety of Tempranillo, which produces powerful and full-bodied red wines.
