Meet the Finca El Empecinado Verdejo , a sparkling white wine that perfectly captures the freshness and aromatic character of the Rueda region in Castile and León. This wine is a pure expression of the Verdejo grape, prized for its vibrant acidity and distinctive spicy notes.
Tasting notes
This 2023 vintage presents itself with a bright, light yellow color and greenish reflections. The nose is distinct and intense, with aromas of freshly mown grass, fennel, and anise, complemented by an abundance of tropical fruits such as passion fruit and grapefruit.
On the palate, the wine is wonderfully refreshing and balanced. The lively acidity provides an energetic structure, while the body offers ample roundness. The finish is long and has that characteristic, slightly bitter note so typical of quality Verdejo.
