This Varietal Verdejo by José Pariente is a fragrant, grape varietal white wine from the Spanish DO Rueda wine region. 

In the glass, this wine sparkles in a light-gloss straw yellow with greenish highlights. The bouquet convinces the nose with intense, multi-layered aromas. In addition to the slightly grassy nuances, there  are fresh aromas of gooseberries, herbs, citrus fruits, cassis flowers, delicate exotic sounds and a hint of fennel. The palate is pampered by a lively freshness and racial acidity with subtle mineral nuances. The aromas of the nose are also wonderfully palpable. The texture owes its slightly creamy character to the storage on the fine yeast. This Spanish white wine has a beautiful balance of fullness, fruit and freshness and ends in a pleasantly long reverberation with Verdejo-typical tender bitter note. 

Vinification of José Pariente Varietal Verdejo

After harvesting the grapes in Rueda, La Seca and Serrada, the harvested material is first cold mashed for 8 to 10 hours. The grapes are then gently pressed and fermented at low temperature with natural yeasts in the stainless steel tank. After the fermentation process has been completed, this wine remains on the fine yeast for about 2 months until it is filled into the bottle filtered. 

Food recommendation for  the Varietal Verdejo José Pariente

This dry white wine from Spain is a great accompaniment to fresh scallops, crispy salad with chicken breast stripes and Asian cuisine. But as a welcome aperitif, this wine is a treat.
