Discover the Avelino Vegas Vega La Luna Verdejo - Viura
In the heart of Spain, between the notable regions of Peñafiel and Pesquera de Duero, lies the historic winery of Avelino Vegas. Founded in 1950, this esteemed estate has long been celebrated for its commitment to quality and innovation, bringing together traditional winemaking techniques with contemporary craftsmanship. At the fore of their impressive portfolio stands the Vega La Luna Verdejo - Viura, a wine that epitomizes the fresh, aromatic white wines of modern Spain.
A Symphony of Two Iconic Grapes
This exquisite blend captures the essence of Verdejo and Viura, two native Spanish grape varieties, each contributing unique attributes to the wine. Verdejo, originating from Rueda, brings a vibrant straw-yellow color with greenish hints. Its nose is a bouquet of fresh herbs, such as fennel and anise, intermingled with citrus and subtle tropical influences. This grape’s robust structure ensures a smooth and fruity palate with a balanced acidity and a distinctive slight bitter finish, ideal for crafting wines with both youthful and aged profiles.
Viura, widely known across Rioja, adds a layer of freshness and floral nuances that beautifully softens Verdejo’s intensity. With aromas of ripe apple and white flowers, Viura lends a crisp, refreshing acidity that harmonizes the blend, making it a versatile companion at the table.
Crafting the Experience
Meticulous care begins in the vineyard with night harvesting—a technique employed to preserve the grapes’ aromatic potential and prevent oxidation. This practice sets the stage for stainless steel fermentation, which maintains the fruit’s purity and vibrant aroma. Occasionally, a brief aging on the lees is used to enhance complexity, without overtaking the wine’s inherent freshness.
Tasting Notes
- Color: Pale straw yellow with a brilliant shine.
- Nose: Intricate layers of fresh herbs and citrus predominantly driven by Verdejo, complemented by Viura’s whispers of white fruit and floral elegance.
- Palate: A smooth, lively texture that offers a refreshing burst of lemon and green apple, spiced with tropical hints, riding on a wave of crisp acidity. The finish is persistent and juicy, leaving a clean, inviting aftertaste.
Perfect Pairings
Vega La Luna Verdejo - Viura is as versatile as it is delightful. It shines as an aperitif and exquisitely complements seafood dishes such as shellfish, grilled fish, or sushi.
