Quinta Apolonia 2024 is the second wine from the renowned Belondrade winery, founded by Didier Belondrade in La Seca, Valladolid. This wine stands out as a fresh and accessible option, interpreting the classic style of its older sibling, Belondrade y Lurton. The grapes are sourced from the Quinta San Diego estate, known for its over twenty plots with varied orientations and soils, ranging from stony to sandy with a calcareous base, all situated at about 750 meters altitude. These conditions are ideal for balanced maturation, preserving the natural freshness of the Verdejo variety. The winemaking process consists of blending two vinification styles: approximately two-thirds ferment in stainless steel tanks and concrete eggs, bringing freshness and expression, while the remainder is processed in barrels previously used for the house's first wine, contributing appreciable structure and complexity. Once blended, the wine is stabilized and bottled, achieving a perfect balance between fruit and aging. In terms of its aromatic profile, this wine exhibits expressive notes of stone fruits like peach and apricot, combined with subtle hints of citrus, dried herbs, and white flowers. On the palate, it is refreshing, broad, and balanced, with a creamy texture and vibrant acidity, giving it length and elegance. Quinta Apolonia is ideal for pairing with a variety of dishes such as seafood, fish, rice, and salads, as well as being an excellent aperitif option due to its freshness and highly aromatic character.
