Tasting Note
Want to conjure up a sunny summer day in the middle of winter? The 2023 Valdejaros Rueda just might do the trick. Made from Verdejo vines between 40 and 120 years old, this crisp and refreshing wine is a great choice for those who love Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. Its aromas are reminiscent of lemon, lime and orange zest, underpinned by hints of white flower, chalk and mineral. The body is mid-weight, brimming with Meyer lemon, orange and almond flavours with notes of lime and mineral following on the finish. This unoaked, dry wine will make an excellent complement to your meal. Play off its bright acidity by matching it with ‘fish en papillote’ baked with slices of orange and lemon. Enjoy now through 2027. Louise Wilson Cormier – Master of Wine January 2025.
