Castilla y León Viñas Viejas Verdejo

This note actually covers 2 bottles of this wine. The first was sadly oxidised and I felt I should check my last one which was fine. This is the second time In recent weeks I have had 2 Euro whites left of 2 different Cuvées. In both cases the 2nd last was over the hill and the last was good. Old gold in colour for this 100% Verdejo. Notes of honey grilled nuts and a touch of pineapple. No other word for the palate than Unctuous. A creamy textural palate with low acid - mouth filling. Some vines in this 23 acre vineyard are up to 180 years old. I should have referred to my first note in 2018 and drunk these 2 bottles a lot sooner. My score here is for the 2nd bottle. One of the 1001 wines. PS. A Footnote - Verdejo is not the same grape as Portuguese grape, Verdelho. I used to incorrectly think they were the same.

160 year old vines.

The 2006 of this wine was epic

I believe this to be a proper Verdejo, away from the yeast game. Complex and mineral nose, hay, baking notes. Body and weight, with good length and well integrated oak.

Thanks for the bottle @Eduardo Bolaños! This shit is the shit.

Pre-phylloxera Verdejo that tastes less like Verdejo and more like Oaky Cali Chardonnay. I like this wine, but I think I'd like it more sans the 100% new oak.

A rare treat. Rich with a touch if caramel. But not in a bad way. Really delicious.

I love this stuff :-)

Really nice, sexed-up Verdejo

Opulence and precision.
