Brand Heritage & Philosophy
Avelino Vegas, a renowned family-run winery established in 1950 in Segovia, Spain, continues to captivate wine enthusiasts with its dedication to quality and varietal purity. Under the guidance of third-generation winemaker Cristina Vegas, the winery embraces a philosophy of expressing regional identity through careful vineyard management and innovative winemaking.
Origin & Terroir
The Circe Verdejo Rueda hails from the prestigious DO Rueda, a region celebrated for its high-quality white wines made from the Verdejo grape—a varietal known for its vibrant acidity and aromatic complexity. The wine’s origins in Segovia are marked by century-old vineyards with sandy and stony soils, providing excellent drainage and consistent water supply to the vines. This terroir, combined with a significant diurnal temperature variation, allows the grapes to develop intense aromas while retaining natural acidity.
The Verdejo Grape & Winemaking
The Verdejo grape, indigenous to Rueda, is sourced exclusively from old-vine plots. Harvested at night to preserve freshness, the grapes undergo modern vinification techniques that emphasize the preservation of varietal aromas, resulting in a wine with exceptional character and depth.
Sensory Profile
Appearance: The wine exhibits a straw yellow hue with exceptional clarity and brightness.
Aromatics: Expect an aromatic bouquet of exotic fruits like passionfruit and guava, complemented by floral notes of acacia and orange blossom. Subtle hints of herbs such as fennel and anise add further nuance.
Palate: On the palate, Circe Verdejo delivers freshness with a sweet, glyceric texture that offers roundness without heaviness. Enjoy a lively, silky mouthfeel with a fragrant, long-lasting finish.
Pairings & Service
Ideal pairings include appetizers like olives and almonds, seafood dishes such as shellfish and grilled fish, and rich, savory foie gras. Whether served as an aperitif or alongside Mediterranean-inspired meals, Circe Verdejo is best enjoyed chilled in medium-sized white wine glasses.
Unique Selling Proposition
Named after the mythical goddess Circe, known for her enchanting magic, this wine exemplifies “white magic” in a bottle. A truly distinctive offering, Circe Verdejo stands apart with its exotic aromatics and complexity derived from old-vine fruit rather than the more commercial expressions of Verdejo.
Commitment to Excellence
Cristina Vegas brings scientific precision to Avelino Vegas’ winemaking process, ensuring that every bottle reflects a balance of tradition and modern innovation. Her emphasis on sustainability practices further underscores the winery’s dedication to exceptional wine production.
