Verdejo
“When wine was a food, when it told the stories of the winemakers in the Rueda region, when the vineyard was a tangle of old Verdejo and Palomino vines, Adorado was born back in 1967. A wine made with the most austere technology, hands. Every year it received a small potion of rejuvenation, under a veil of flower, with the system of criaderas and soleras. Over time it became rancid, oxidized, but that is its greatness. Adorado is the wine of the grandfather, the father, the children... of the Sanz family”. Made in Spain Gourmet always guarantees you the best of Spanish gastronomy. It is the new generation of top quality Verdejo wines.

"Returning to nature what man has stolen" THE VINEYARD
Winery: Own Vineyards, at Menade Winery, Rueda (Valladolid) D.O. Rueda Vintage: 1967 Alcohol content: 15.5%
Variety: Verdejo and Palomino
Serving temperature: 8-10ºC
Tasting notes: Amber color, old gold.
Nose: "Rancio" or oxidative style. Aromas of veil flower, dried fruits, dried apricot-like fruit. On the nose, memories of the Sanz family history. Spectacular.
Pallate: A wine full of sensations on the palate. Fine, structured, saline, round, very complex and balanced. It is everything and nothing. It is Adored.
Elaboration: Adorado de Menade is a generous wine made from the Verdejo and Palomino Fino varieties produced by the Menade winery as a wine from Castilla y León in Spain.
Adorado de Menade is a wine that tells a story, whose heart is not only composed of an ancient solera of wines aged under flor veil, but also carries in its essence the hands and efforts of grandparents, parents, and children who year after year nourished it with new wine to preserve this essence of life.
The solera originated thanks to a strictly manual harvest and was transported in mule carts. The bunches went through a vertical mechanical press dating back to 1900 to obtain the musts that fermented under their native yeasts and the resulting wine was fortified with grape spirit before undergoing oxidative aging where, already inside the barrels, the wine spontaneously developed a layer of yeast known as flor veil that emerges mainly during spring and protects the wine from oxidation, providing interesting organoleptic properties.
When the veil disappeared, the oxidative aging period through the solera and criaderas system began. The oldest solera that is preserved dates back to 1967 and it was not until 2018 that the first extraction was carried out with the aim of reactivating the traditional system of criaderas and soleras.
Adorado de Menade acquires through this artisanal process all its personality. It is bottled "en rama", that is, unfiltered and unclarified. It is a wine of "rancio" style that encapsulates in each drop a story, a feeling, the feeling of the Sanz family that now shares with all wine lovers.
Pairing: At Made in Spain Gourmet, we recommend it with Stuffed Eggplants, Appetizers, Pickled dishes like mussels or quails. Also with smoked foods and cured cheeses.
The Vineyard
The key is to combine tradition and technology to pamper the vines. It is about seeking an alliance with the environment to take advantage of the resources it provides, caring for it through traditional cultural practices. At Menade, they replace chemical treatments with other natural techniques, such as plant infusions (nettles, cinnamon...) or whey, which are more respectful of the soil, the vine, and the yeasts. Far from being enemies, the insects that populate the Menade vineyard are faithful allies in pest prevention. First, they are attracted with aromatic extracts to act as predators and then rest in their 'hotels', pollination gardens full of aromatic plants where insects and reptiles live in harmony. The ecosystem of the estates is completed with a series of mobile shrubs and trees in order to improve the biodiversity that populates the vineyard. A poly-specific garden with more than 40 species from Castilla y León that is alive all year round welcomes visitors to the winery. All these practices have an impact on the final result of the wines, as they not only taste good but also feel good. They produce wines free of allergens and histamines. Through all these mechanisms, Menade has gone beyond the organic label. They are no longer green, they are natural.
