Verdejo Ruedo DO 1,5l Magnum - Bodegas Protos

The Verdejo Ruedo 1.5l Magnum from the Castilla y León wine-growing region reveals itself in the glass in a bright pale yellow. When the wine glass is swirled, this white wine displays a perfect balance, as it does not appear watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the glass walls. The first nose of the Verdejo Ruedo 1.5l Magnum flatters with notes of mango and lemon. The fruity tones of the bouquet are joined by more fruity-balsamic nuances.

The Bodegas Protos Verdejo Ruedo 1.5l Magnum presents itself to the wine lover pleasantly dry. This white wine never appears coarse or lean, but rather round and smooth. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced white wine is wonderfully dense. The finish of this youthful white wine from the Castilla y León wine-growing region, more precisely from Rueda DO, ultimately convinces with a good aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral notes from the limestone- and clay-dominated soils.

Vinification of the Verdejo Ruedo 1.5l Magnum from Bodegas Protos

This white wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Verdejo. Only the best grape material was used for this wonderfully balanced varietal wine from Bodegas Protos. In Castilla y León, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay and limestone soils. Of course, the Verdejo Ruedo 1.5l Magnum is influenced by more than just the soil of Rueda DO. In the best sense of the word, this Spaniard can be described as an Old World wine that presents itself in an exceptionally impressive manner. After the grape harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are selected and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally drawn off.
