Creators' opinion
La crianza sobre lías aporta a Javier Sanz Finca Saltamontes una cremosidad fuera de lo normal y una suave sensación en boca. Su nariz recuerda a la piel de naranja confitada, a masa de pan y a toques de hinojo y hierbas aromáticas. Es sumamente suave y cremoso en el paladar, con una acidez moderada y un final largo y agradable. Esta textura lo hace perfecto para acompañar platos de verduras, arroces y comida vegetariana.
The winery
Led by Javier Sanz, the fourth generation of a family of winemakers, it boasts 104 hectares of its own vineyards distributed across a mosaic of plots located in the Valladolid municipality of La Seca (D.O. Rueda). A significant portion of these vineyards are pre-phylloxera (over 150 years old), inherited from his great-grandfather.
The essence of the wines from Javier Sanz Viticultor lies in the unique approach to viticulture, based on quality guidelines passed down from generation to generation. This care for the family-owned vineyards translates into wines with personality, connecting quality with a distinctive style. The winery produces single-varietal wines with minimal intervention and uses native yeasts.
The verdejos from Javier Sanz Viticultor have received prestigious national and international awards, such as a Zarcillo de Oro, several gold medals at Selections Mondiales des Vins Canada, a gold medal at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, and other recognitions.
