Finca Montico 2017

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.

Very exotic fruit aromas with mango and papaya. Full body, beautiful fruit with bitter lemon undertones. Love the finish to this. Beautiful verdejo. Drink now.
