DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Belondrade y Lurton is the flagship white of Bodegas Belondrade in Rueda, made from the organic Quinta San Diego estate in La Seca.
It is mostly Verdejo, with a little of other white grapes, from vines 10 to 75 years old on rocky clay, sand and limestone. The grapes are picked by hand and fermented with native yeasts in 300 to 500 liter French oak barrels, then the wine ages on its lees in oak for about nine months. The 2024 is mineral and stony on the nose, with delicate smoke and citrus. The acidity is vibrant, the palate both elegant and structured, and the finish saline. It is appealing now and will age well.
Serve at 50 to 54°F in a wide white wine glass, and do not over-chill it. Pair with grilled sea bass, roast chicken, scallops or a hard sheep's cheese.
Tim Atkin: 96 points. Wine Advocate: 95 points. Vinous: 95 points.
Bottle size: 750ml
