2024 Belondrade Y Lurton

Belondrade and Ossian are considered Spain's finest white (Verdejo) wines. Both are made from very old Verdejo vineyards (with Ossian's being exceptionally old). The Spanish wine region of Rueda, where Belondrade's wines are produced, is located 165 km northwest of Madrid in the heart of Castilla y León on the banks of the Duero River (Portuguese Douro), which flows into the sea at Porto.

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 roasted aromas from the partially new oak barrels, while the palate reveals ripeness and richness, yet still sufficiently fresh thanks to the perfect balance with the 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.
