Torres Celeste Verdejo Sur Lees Pago del Cielo 2020

Rueda, Castilla-Leon, SpainCeleste Verdejo is a new Torres label out of Rueda. Some north-facing parcels sit close to the river in clay gravel and rounded pebbles, characteristic of an old riverbed. The result is a cool, fresh style with intense aromas that are almost sauvignon-like. It opens with citrus and pineapple scents laced with fennel and licorice, all of which spills onto a slightly more lush palate with a pleasant, bitter green fruit finish. Verdejo is the flagship grape of DO Rueda, used in winemaking there since the 11th century. Delicious summer wine for vegans and food and wine lovers.Tasted: 10 February 2022Tasted by: Prices:
