The single-vineyard Verdejo 2015 Finca Montico was sourced from the head-pruned, 40-year-old vineyard planted with a massale selection that names the wine. The hand-harvested bunches were pressed and the must fermented with indigenous yeasts in small stainless steel vats and 6,000-liter oval oak foudres, where it was kept with the fine lees for five months. It has the character of the traditional wines from Rueda, a mixture of notes of hay and straw, orange peel and some white fruit and flowers, with a fresh, medium-bodied palate and the telltale faintly bitter finish. 35,000 bottles produced.

The single-vineyard 2014 Finca Montico is pure head-pruned Verdejo from a 40-year-old vineyard that is produced like the wines of yesteryear: direct pressing of the bunches (after being sorted) and fermentation in stainless steel with part in 6,000-liter French oak foudres (less oak than in the past), where the wine matures in contact with the lees for five months. There are notes of herbs, spices and a mixture of flowers and yellow fruit, quite harmonious, without traces of oak. The palate is both round and fresh, powerful and elegant, with very good balance. This should improve with some time in bottle. 35,000 bottles produced.

The 2013 Finca Montico is a single-vineyard Verdejo from fruit cultivated in the chalky-clay terraces of the Duero river. The vineyards average 20 years of age, which produces balanced grapes. The wine aged for four months in stainless steel vats with lees contact, which gives it an extra dimension of complexity and texture, and the fresh vintage provided good acidity. Very balanced and harmonious, a great version of Verdejo. Drink now-2016. Importer: Shaw Ross Intl. Importers, Miramar, FL; tel. (954) 430-5020
