The Transistor 2023 is a unique white wine from the D.O. Rueda, produced by the esteemed Telmo Rodríguez wine company, recognized for its work in recovering traditional vineyards in Spain. This wine is made exclusively from Verdejo grapes sourced from old vineyards in the municipality of La Seca. The gravelly soils and low yields of these vineyards allow for grapes with great intensity and character. The name of the wine, ‘The Transistor’, refers to a curious agricultural technique where radios are placed in vineyards to scare away wild boars at night. After careful manual harvesting, the wine ferments with native yeasts and undergoes 8 to 9 months of aging in barrels and wooden fudres. This meticulous winemaking process adds complexity and texture to the wine without compromising varietal freshness. On the nose, The Transistor presents appealing aromas of green apple, citrus, and white flowers, complemented by subtle mineral notes. On the palate, it glides elegantly and balances, highlighting its expressiveness, good structure, and vibrant freshness, culminating in a long and delicately citrus finish. Thanks to its balanced combination of freshness and complexity, this white wine becomes a perfect choice to accompany a variety of dishes, from fish and seafood to rice and white meats, showcasing the true essence of Verdejo from old vineyards in Rueda.
