Baron de Chirel Viñas Centenarias Verdejo 2024 is one of the great aged whites from Marqués de Riscal. Crafted exclusively from old phylloxera-resistant Verdejo vines, it presents a very different interpretation from traditional Verdejo from Rueda. The combination of century-old vines, altitude, and long aging on lees produces a wine of great depth, texture, and elegance, designed to evolve for many years in bottle. The 2024 vintage maintains the style that has made this wine a reference in Castilla y León: a broad, complex, and precise white, where ripe fruit merges with marked freshness and refined minerality. Aging in Stockinger fudres adds volume and subtlety, always respecting the prominence of the vineyard. Its aging potential exceeds 10 years. On the nose, it offers aromas of white peach, pear, fennel, and stone fruits, accompanied by notes of wild herbs, white flowers, dried fruits, wet stone, and delicate balsamic and toasted nuances. On the palate, it is broad, unctuous, and very elegant, with perfectly integrated acidity, great tension, and a long finish where ripe fruit, aniseed notes, and marked minerality re-emerge. It is a magnificent companion for sauced fish, white meats, roasted lamb, grilled vegetables, legumes, and aged cheeses.
