2024 Jose Pariente Verdejo

José Pariente verdejo is one of the best Verdejo wines from Rueda. Complex fresh wine. Made from 30 year old sticks, located on a high plateau between Rueda and La Seca. The grapes (100% Verdejo) mainly come from vineyards that have been family owned for more than 30 years. The vineyard is characterized by a platform of loose stones, is poor in organic matter and has outcrops of limestone at the higher levels.

The local climate, continental with an Atlantic influence, forces the vines to reach deep into the subsoil in search of water. During the winemaking process, cold maceration takes place for 8 to 12 hours in the first phase. After a pneumatic pressing, the alcohol is fermented at low temperature in stainless steel barrels and the wine is left to mature on the lees until it is clarified. The wine is then filtered and bottled. Beautiful light color with almost green tones. Rich and complex aroma of fruits such as pear, peach, citrus and passion fruit in combination with floral notes of wild flowers. Beautiful mineral with a refined spiciness. Very fresh and elegant wine with fresh fruit in the mouthfeel. Unctuous, sweet and elegant with a slight hint of bitterness in the aftertaste, the wine is characterized by the typicality of the Verdejo grape. In Winelife, the Jose Pariente Verdejo has been chosen as the ideal wine with Asparagus and Salmon.

As far as we are concerned, the Jose Pariente, together with the Shaya, Quintaluna and Vetus, are the Verdejo wines with the very best price/quality ratio.
