Product Description
Details
We are happy to present the 2023 vintage of the wine Belondrade y Lurton, undoubtedly the most prestigious Spanish white wine from DO Rueda.
A varietal Verdejo, this Crianza white wine of the Belondrade winery is sourced from 23 plots of 30-year-old vineyards sitting at 750 metres above sea level. The certified organic vineyards have sand and pebble soils that bring a distinctive freshness and complexity to the wine.
Each plot was separately harvested and vinified. First, the grapes were cold-soaked and spontaneously fermented with their own yeasts in 300-litre French oak barrels. After that, the white wine Belondrade y Lurton 2023 was aged on lees for 10 months with periodic stirrings.
Finally, this white wine from Rueda by famed French winemaker Didier Belondrade was blended and aged for 5 months minimum before its commercial release.
Aerate this white wine fermented and aged on lees 30 minutes before drinking.

I drank this at a Castilian restaurant with a roast suckling pig. A match made in heaven. The wine is dense, tangy and delicately bitter. I've had quite a lot of bottles since that day.

One of Spain's great white wines, and a very good wine to age for some years too. It stands comparison with many first-class white wines around the world.
