Making process
Winemaking
Finca Vallejo Verdejo 2025 achieves a clean and precise expression of Verdejo. In the winery, the grapes are carefully pressed upon entry to preserve their aromatic character, and the resulting must is transferred directly to stainless steel tanks, where it undergoes fermentation at a controlled temperature. The result is a sober and effective craftsmanship, designed to respect the freshness and varietal identity of the wine.
Vineyard
Description
This wine comes from exceptional vineyards located in Rueda, La Seca, and Alaejos, within the D.O. Rueda, where nocturnal and staggered harvests help preserve the grapes in perfect condition. The selection of Verdejo results in a careful raw material, processed with gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
Climate
The climate of Finca Vallejo Verdejo supports slow and precise ripening. In the vineyards of Rueda, La Seca, and Alaejos, a wide thermal differential between day and night is observed, with moderate temperatures during the day. This contrast helps to preserve freshness and enhances the fruity character of the Verdejo.
The winery
In 2017, the Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España (CVNE) fulfilled the desire to honor the founders of the winery from 1879 by launching the Bodega Bela project in one of the most sought-after areas of the Ribera del Duero Denomination of Origin. This winemaking house, far from its native Rioja, began with an exceptional viticultural heritage of 82 hectares of vineyards, mostly of the tinta del país or tempranillo variety, spread across the Villalba de Duero and Moradillo de Roa regions. Two very distinct areas that contribute complementary attributes to the wines: more structure in Moradillo de Roa and more freshness in Villalba de Duero. A venture that was forged after more than a decade of acquiring these coveted vineyards.
Bela was the affectionate nickname given to Sofía, the daughter of CVNE co-founder Eusebio Real de Asúa, and the great-grandmother of the current leaders of the company. It is a cutting-edge winery with a surface area of 6,000 m² and a large barrel room with a capacity for 10,000 casks.
In 2024, it became one of the highlights of the Spanish wine world when the prestigious publication Wine Spectator selected Bela Crianza 2021 as the only Ribera del Duero wine in its Top 100.
In recent years, Bodega Bela has embarked on its adventure in the neighboring D.O. Rueda, where it is producing verdejo whites that are sure to make waves.
