White wine El Gordo del Circo from Casa Rojo, 2024 vintage, D.O. Rueda. Made from 100% Verdejo from old vines in Olmedo, Valladolid, Castile and León, with indigenous yeasts. Presentation: 75 cl bottle. Alcohol content: 13.5%. Harvest takes place in the first week of September, early in the morning, so the grapes arrive at around 10 °C. After 2-3 days of maceration and pressing, only free-run juice and first press juice are used. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at 14 °C. The thick lees are then removed and the wine is aged for four months on fine lees, with weekly batonage. The final blend receives a light ageing in oak. The sheet also indicates maturation of 12 months, without specifying which stage it refers to. It has a greenish-yellow colour with golden hues. The nose is intense and floral, with white fruit, melon, papaya and passion fruit. On the palate it is elegant, even, full-bodied, rich and creamy, marked by the fine lees. Total acidity: 5.5 g/l; pH: 3.2; residual sugar: 3 g/L.
