WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Verdling Trocken Verdejo is produced using 100% Verdejo grapes from old, ungrafted vines. The winemaking process begins with whole-cluster pressing, utilizing only the free-run juice. Fermentation is conducted with indigenous yeasts in various wooden vessels. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for nine months on its lees (b芒tonnage) in French oak barrels, with a proportion of new, one-year-old, and two-year-old barrels. An additional 12 months of bottle aging precedes release. The producer employs certified organic farming practices.
