Celeste Verdejo
WHERE STARS MEET THE EARTH
Only the very best wines reveal their secrets to truly reflect their origin. Celeste Verdejo is a modern-style wine, fresh, and intensely aromatic. The estate-owned vineyards, close to the river Duero, are handled with great care and respect in order to give this wine greater complexity and highlight the character of the variety from this particular zone in DO Rueda.
This wine is made from estate-owned vineyards in Villafranca del Duero, specifically from vineyards close to the left bank of the river Duero where the valley foothills begin their gentle undulations and scenic meanders. This is where the river is at its widest and most fierce. The combination of location, orientation, and calcareous soils – gravelly loam and river stones from the riverbed – highlight the expression of the Verdejo variety in this location by intensifying its aromas.
DO Rueda
DO Rueda is located in the central zone of the drainage basin that forms the river Duero and the high plateau whose gentle undulating topography is subject to the Atlantic winds. The DO is between 700 and 800 metres above sea level extending over areas in the provinces of Valladolid, Segovia, and Ávila. Its relief, gravelly soils, and continental climate make this an ideal region in which to make white wines, especially from the Verdejo variety.
