2022 Casa Rojo El Gordo del Circo Verdejo

The Casa Rojo El Gordo del Circo Verdejo is not just any Verdejo but a very beautiful and especially very elegant version and this is, in addition to the high quality of the fruit, also due to the long maturation at a cold temperature on the lees (the lees/fermentation/sur lie) which gives the wine a great roundness in the mouth and a powerful structure. The Verdejo grapes come from a vineyard of approximately 30 years old located on gravel and poor sandy soils. This ensures that the vines have to root very deeply and work hard and wine connoisseurs know that a vine 'suffers' to produce the most beautiful fruit. The grapes come from Olmedo, Valdestillas and Segovia, 100% Verdejo. Maceration of the grape at low temperature for 24 hours. Fermentation in amphorae eggs at low temperature to extract a large amount of aromatic compounds from the grape and then the wine ages on its lees for 5-6 months.

The Casa Rojo El Gordo del Circo Verdejo has a light straw yellow color, with greenish tones, clean, clear and transparent. On the nose it is elegant and intense, with initially balsamic and aromas such as fennel, hay, cut grass and anise, which give way to hints of citrus and white fruit. In the mouth it is broad, fresh, with intense acidity, maintaining the perfect balance with the sugar.
