Valmoro Rueda Verdejo 6 Meses En Barrica

Winemaker Álvarez y Díez on the winery

“We are Álvarez y Díez, a winery in Rueda, in the heart of Castilla y León. Here, we focus on Verdejo, a grape variety that thrives in the region’s continental climate and stony soils. Warm days help the grapes ripen, while cool nights preserve their natural acidity. We combine our knowledge of local viticulture with modern techniques and careful grape selection. Our aim is to express the character of Rueda in our wines: aromatic and lively, with room for added complexity and refinement when we choose to age them in oak.”

And on Rueda, Spain

“For our Valmoro Verdejo, we select grapes from Rueda, where vineyards grow at altitude on stony soils rich in limestone and gravel. We harvest during the cooler night hours to help preserve freshness. After fermentation, the wine spends six months ageing in oak barrels, with contact with fine lees contributing texture and complexity. The oak brings subtle notes of vanilla and cedar, while the Verdejo itself offers citrus, pear and tropical fruit. Fresh acidity keeps everything in balance, giving this fuller, layered white wine a long finish.”
