Marqués de Riscal Verdejo on fine lees 2025 is a notable white wine from Rueda, created by the prestigious Marqués de Riscal winery. This winery has been a pioneer since the 1970s in promoting the Verdejo variety, bringing an innovative and gastronomic approach to this type of wine. The grapes used come from selected vineyards, situated on gravel and sandy soils, providing excellent drainage and contributing to the aromatic concentration of the fruit. The harvest is carried out at night and at low temperatures, helping to preserve the freshness and distinctive aromas of the Verdejo. After fermentation, the wine rests on fine lees, enriched with inactive yeasts. This process not only provides aromatic stability, but also gives the wine a creamy texture and exceptional volume on the palate, while maintaining a refreshing and vibrant acidity. In terms of aromas, notes of white flowers, fennel, fresh grass, and white fruits emerge, with citrus and anise hints. On the palate, it feels fresh and balanced, with a slight creaminess, and a long finish that combines freshness and complexity. It is a very versatile wine, ideal for pairing with fish, seafood, rice dishes, Asian cuisine, or fatty dishes, as its texture and acidity perfectly balance each bite. This wine has been recognized for its exceptional quality and price-quality ratio in the Rueda Top 100 2026 report by Tim Atkin, where it earned the title of “Young White Wine Discovery.”
