The Legacy of Avelino Vegas
Explore the rich lineage of Avelino Vegas, a family-owned winery that roots itself deep in the Segovian soil of Spain. Established in the 1950s, this winery has a longstanding tradition of crafting quality wines, with the Montespina Verdejo being a testament to their commitment to innovation balanced with respect for tradition. The estate, founded by Avelino Vegas himself, is a blend of history and modernity, featuring a commemorative sculpture by Cristóbal Gabarrón, showcasing their dedication to both art and winemaking.
The Rueda Region
Located in the northwestern region of Spain, Rueda stands out with its distinctive terroir and climate—hot summers, cold winters, and a wide range of diurnal temperatures ideal for viticulture. The high-altitude vineyards, some reaching up to 900 meters, are planted on canto rodado and cascajo, soils known for their excellent drainage and contribution to the unique minerality of the wines produced here. This is the hometown of Verdejo, a grape celebrated across the world, and Montespina Verdejo is its clear ambassador.
Viticulture and Winemaking
Montespina Verdejo is crafted from 100% Verdejo grapes, often sourced from old and centenary vines that add complexity and depth to the wine. Harvested at their peak of ripeness, the grapes undergo a process that includes cold maceration and gentle pressing, ensuring the preservation of their natural aromatic potential. Fermentation occurs under controlled temperatures with the wine resting on its lees (sobre lías), enhancing the texture and palate experience, resulting in a wine that is as expressive as it is balanced.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: A striking straw-yellow hue with subtle green tints, clear and brilliant to the eye.
Nose: The aromatic profile is lively and complex, showcasing fresh notes of hay, fennel, tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango, and a subtle hint of citrus and white flowers.
Palate: Elegant and textured, it offers a delightfully silky mouthfeel with vibrant acidity. The taste journey ends with a long, refreshing finish punctuated by the characteristic slightly bitter note.
Perfect Pairings
The Montespina Verdejo is versatile, pairing wonderfully with a wide array of dishes. It complements seafood, light poultry dishes, and vegetarian cuisine beautifully. Whether enjoyed alongside a seafood paella, fresh cheeses, or simply as an aperitif, this wine elevates any dining experience.
In Summary
Rich in history, crafted with passion, and exalted by critics, the Avelino Vegas Montespina Verdejo offers not just a drink but a journey into the heart of one of Spain’s most respected winemaking traditions.
