MicroBio Wines 2020 Sin Nombre Verdejo

All Verdejo from ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines of 200 years-old at 900 meters altitude, planted on mixed soils of sand, clay and gravel, the wine is fermented and aged on the lees for 10 months in 1,200 liter oak barrels, and an additional 10 months in stainless steel tanks, with no fining or filtering, and minimal addition of sulfur at bottling. Partial maceration with the skins gives this wine a little extra texture and subtle grip. The 2020 is ethereal, with very subtle oxidative notes and lovely mid-palate. A fine Verdejo, and a nice look at the potential of this lesser known Spanish white grape.  -EL
