White dry
Protos Verdejo Rueda DO 2024 is a light, refreshing and fruity white wine that expressively conveys the character of the 'Verdejo' grape variety. This wine is born in vineyards that are almost 20 years old, located on dry gravel soils in the heart of the Rueda region. The harvest is harvested at night in order to preserve maximum freshness of the aromas.
The wine has notes of tropical fruits (mango, pineapple), ripe citrus, as well as subtle notes of boxwood, fennel and herbs. The taste is complex, but at the same time light, with perfectly integrated acidity and a pleasant bitter aftertaste that gives it elegance and longevity.
Production:
Maceration: 4-5 hours at low temperature to extract more aromas
Fermentation: in stainless steel tanks.
Maturation: the wine is kept with the yeast for up to 3 months, depending on the characteristics of the harvest - this gives it body and texture.
Serve at 8-10 °C with seafood, white fish dishes, stewed chicken, and white meat appetizers.
