Tasting notes
Menade Verdejo displays a beautiful straw yellow color with greenish reflections. It is clean and bright to the eye.
On the nose, it shows a great concentration of varietal aromas and mineral notes. Sensations of white fruit appear combined with herbal echoes (laurel, hinojo) and low mountain plants.
On the palate, it is a dry, tasty, and balanced white wine with typical bitter touches of the Verdejo variety. It has natural acidity and a long and elegant finish.
The winery
Bodega Menade is the project of the Sanz siblings, the fifth generation of a family of winemakers, who in 2005 embarked on the search for century-old vineyards across different regions of Castilla y León until they found the vines that met their high standards.
A winery located on the terraces of the Duero River, in Rueda (Valladolid), which was a pioneer in the area in obtaining Organic certification and employs artisanal winemaking methods: grape treading, use of native yeasts... Their main asset is very old vineyards distributed across three different areas of Castilla y León. Their wines are sold in 25 countries and boast an impressive collection of international awards.
