ABV: 13.5%

A vibrant straw yellow, with prominent aromas of citrus, freshly cut pears and fennel. On the palate, this wine has excellent structure powered by a vibrant acidity, delicate volume and intense flavours.

The grapes are sourced from a few different sites across the Los Llanos, El Gato, and Avutarda Estate, with vines aged between 17 and 30 years old. The vineyards are located at 700 metres above sea level and are planted on soil largely composed of pebbles, creating an excellent drainage system in the vineyard.

The grapes were harvested at night to ensure the temperature of the fruit was kept between 10°C and 15°C, to retain the vibrant aromas. Maceration occurred at a low temperature and bâtonage was employed to add textural complexity to the finished wine.

Though famed for their Rioja, Bodegas Lan also produces a Rueda Verdejo in collaboration with Olga Tormo. It blends estate-grown and locally purchased fruit from vines up to 30 years old at 700 metres above sea level. The grapes are harvested at night to preserve acidity, while lees ageing and bâtonnage add texture and intensity to this vibrant white wine.
