Product Description
Details
Made by Telmo Rodriguez, one of Spain's most prominent winemakers, the wine El Transistor Verdejo comes from the region of La Seca, DO Rueda, the cradle of the Verdejo grape variety.
This varietal Spanish white wine is made from old vines grown in poor, rocky-limestone soils with very low levels of organic matter.
Harvest was carried out manually. After that, the grapes of this old-vines Verdejo from were fermented using indigenous yeasts in differently shaped and sized vats and barrels, made of wood, concrete and stainless steel.
Once that process was finished, the white wine El Transistor Verdejo 2022 was aged for 9 months in different containers, blended and aged for some months in the bottle prior to its release.
This is a remarkably complex white wine from Rueda.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The wine El Transistor is medium straw with golden tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Aromas of juicy white fruit, citrus, white flowers and freshly-cut grass, typical of a Verdejo from Rueda, with some elegant, restrained notes coming from the ageing process. |
| Palate | Lighter and subtler than one might expect, this wine from Telmo Rodríguez is crisp, dry and really fresh. Remembrances of flowers, white fruit, aromatic herbs and citrus, along with hints of yeasts, some mineral undertones and a dash of spices and smoke. Well-balanced acidity and long, slightly bitter finish with a fennel remembrance. |
| Our personal opinion | A far cry from conventional Verdejo, El Transistor 2022 is a definitely terroir-oriented Rueda white wine. |

I put this wine up with the best Spanish verdejos. Understated elegance and a sense of terroir.

Verdejo
Thelmo Rodrigues is a top Spanish winemaker, and this is one of Spain's top Verdejos. Citrus, stone fruit, it coats the palate and has a smooth, silky body. Great finish.
