Bodegas Alvarez y Diez is a renowned winery located in the Rueda region of Spain, known for its dedication to producing high-quality Verdejo wines. The 'Mantel Blanco' Verdejo is crafted from 100% Verdejo grapes, a varietal celebrated for its aromatic intensity and vibrant acidity. The Rueda region, with its continental climate and gravelly soils, provides the ideal conditions for cultivating Verdejo. This wine undergoes a meticulous winemaking process, including cold fermentation to preserve the fresh and fruity character of the grape. The resulting wine offers a lively flavor profile with notes of green apple, citrus, and a hint of herbaceousness, balanced by a crisp acidity. It pairs beautifully with seafood, salads, and light poultry dishes.

The Verdejo for Mantel Blanco comes from the estate’s own vineyards in Pago de la Serna at 770m, all managed sustainably. Vinified in stainless steel, it is a fresh and lively Verdejo but with some concentration and palate weight from an extended time on lees. It is a very pure expression of both the stony nature of the vineyard and the variety with intense grassy notes and zippy citrus fruits. 2024-27
