EL TRANSISTOR

GRAPE: Verdejo

APPELLATION: Rueda DO

VINIFICATION:
Fermentation with indigenous yeasts in concrete, wooden barrels and foudres of different sizes. 6/7 months of aging. This wine reflects the best expression of Verdejo: bushvines, low yields, a simple and respectful winemaking process, and our 20 years of experience and knowledge of this area, make this a very consistent wine.

TASTING NOTES:

It’s a slightly reductive, fruit-driven white, fresh, balanced, clean and easy to drink.
With time in the glass, the nose opens up and shows cleaner.

FOOD PAIRING: Bagel with smoked salmon, apple and two cheeses, boiled lobster , bouillabaisse
and rouille sauce with basil, ceviche, chicken, grilled fishes.

Tech Sheet:

PRODUCER: Since its origin, the main purpose of Compañia de Vinos Telmo Rodriguez is the use only of native varieties from original areas. This philosophy contrasts with the boom of the implantation of foreign varieties, practically throughout the Spanish vineyard. Another of the initiatives to which the project wants to pay special attention, also from its origins, is the recovery of forgotten vineyards.
