Wine Production

Harvesting at night allows the grapes to maintain all of their organoleptic qualities, as well as a balance between alcohol content and acidity. Once in the winery, the grapes are cold-macerated for a few hours before being pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature to maintain all the characteristics of the best Verdejo white wine.

About the Vineyard

Portia Verdejo Rueda wine expresses the identity of Rueda's unique landscape and gastronomic expression of the Verdejo grape variety. Rueda D.O. is characterized by its altitude, between 700 and 800 meters, with a continental climate, marked by long and harsh winters, short springs and very hot and dry summers.
