Conde de los Andes Blanco Duermevela 2016 is a white wine from the prestigious Rioja region, produced by Bodegas Ollauri – Conde de los Andes, a historic winery with a legacy dating back to the old Paternina house. This special wine is part of a limited edition aimed at showcasing the aging potential of great Rioja whites. Made from Viura grapes from vineyards over 30 years old, this wine benefits from the calcareous soils of Rioja Alta and the moderate Atlantic climate, contributing to excellent acidity and freshness. The harvest is done manually, usually in early October. After pressing, the must ferments slowly in new fine-grain French oak barrels, where it remains for several months on its lees, adding texture and complexity to the wine. It then continues aging in the same barrels before bottling, allowing for greater development in its aromatic depth. On the nose, it reveals an elegant profile with aromas of ripe white fruit, citrus, and flowers, complemented by notes of vanilla, toast, and slight hints of nuts from aging. On the palate, it is balanced and fresh, with a notable structure and a creamy texture, culminating in a long finish. This wine is gastronomic par excellence, with excellent bottle aging potential, perfect for pairing with baked fish, seafood, rice dishes, and poultry, where its balance and complexity are enhanced.
