Verdejo.
Made with Verdejo grapes, La Misión comes from century-old vines, between 120 and 140 years old, planted in estates with mainly sandy soils and from 18 plots located in different areas of its region. The ‘Verdeja’ presents distinctive morphological features, the grapes are smaller, the clusters more oval. The aromas are the expression of authentic Verdejo, they present greater rusticity, but also greater authenticity. After aging, the wine La Misión de Menade rests in the bottle for a minimum of two years before its release to the market. Made in Spain Gourmet guarantees you always the best of Spanish gastronomy. It is the new generation of top-quality Verdejo wines.

Certified organic natural viticulture treated in a special way, seeking lower yields to achieve higher ripeness.
"Return to nature what man has stolen from it.” THE VINEYARD
Winery: Own vineyards, at Bodega Menade, Rueda (Valladolid) D.O. Rueda Alcohol content: 12.5%
Variety: 100% Verdejo
Serving temperature: 8-10ºC
Tasting notes: Yellow predominance, bathed in golden reflections.

Production: La Misión de Menade, a wine made with grapes from 18 plots located in different locations in Castilla y León, cultivated in a respectful manner with the environment.
The harvest is carried out manually and the grapes, upon arrival at the winery, are pressed whole. The must undergoes fermentation with its native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The resulting wine undergoes aging for around 10 months in French oak barrels of 500 liters, in tanks of 5,000 and 10,000 liters, and in jars of different capacities made in part with clays from the Menade estates, a return to the origins.
After aging, the wine La Misión de Menade rests in the bottle for a minimum of two years before being released to the market.
Pairing: at Made in Spain Gourmet, we recommend it on its own, with appetizers, grilled seafood, lightly dressed salads, semi-cured sheep and vegan cheeses, mushroom pâté, or foie gras.
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 they 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 to improve the biodiversity that inhabits the vineyard. A poly-specific garden with more than 40 species from Castilla y León that is alive all year round welcomes the winery. All these practices have an impact on the final result of the wines, because in addition to tasting good, they 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.
WHERE 40 SPECIES LIVE
Also known as the Pollination Garden of Bodegas Menade, it is a large poly-specific garden with native species of Castilla y León that is alive all year round, so perennial and caudal species have been employed in order to develop a large floral circuit for all types of insects, seeking a great entomological variety.
The great Insect Hotel contains 40 species representative of the different strata of the ecosystem. At the lower level, at ground level, small-stem aromatic species such as lavender, sage, or different types of rosemary have been planted.
At the middle level, wild roses, red thyme, blackthorns, elderberries, and wild brambles have been chosen, among others.
The plants and trees installed at Bodegas Menade come from outdoor crops with replanted roots, that is, a reinforced root system.
