Grapes Varieties
100% Verdejo, fifty-year old bush vines planted on gravelly and sandy alluvial soils with a small amount of clay
This Verdejo from Rueda has the lightness and purity of its fruit. These old Verdejo vines are true warriors and were, in another life, blended into red bulk wines of the province of Leon. El Petit Bonhomme staked out their pedigree and achieved this mouth-watering wine by nurturing these grapes to their full, lustrous potential.
Cold and controlled tank fermented, gentle pneumatic pressing to gather all the primary fine aromas. The wine rested 20 % in French new oak for 4 months accompanied by impeccable work with the lees and gentle rackings.
Pale golden colour with pear and peachy notes on the nose, engaging crisp and vibrant round texture in the palate, citrus and passion-fruit, herbaceous and mineral notes, with an intense powerful finish.
