If you’re looking for a white wine that combines character, freshness, and an exceptional origin, the White Wine Viña Oropéndola is the perfect choice. This wine, crafted by Bodegas Sembro in the renowned Denomination of Origin Rueda, is a true expression of the 100% Verdejo variety, grown in historic vineyards and vinified with precision. Viña Oropéndola is part of the Bodegas Sembro project, which includes other notable wines under the same label and has been in the market for over 15 years, building a solid reputation for consistent quality. The technique behind its production is overseen by Borja Osborne, in collaboration with the friend winery Diez Siglos Verdejo, a society of 65 passionate winemakers equipped with advanced technology. This wine is made from ancient vineyards that are 40 to 60 years old, located on alluvial terraces of the Douro River at about 750 meters altitude. The temperature difference between day and night promotes slow and complete ripening of the grapes, resulting in intense aromas and balanced acidity. The harvest takes place at night to protect the freshness of the grapes. The vinification process includes cold maceration with the skins, gentle pressing, and the clarification of the must to ensure its purity. The wine rests on its fine lees for 3 to 4 months, adding body and a silky smoothness without sacrificing the varietal freshness of the Verdejo. In the glass, the White Wine Viña Oropéndola presents a pale yellow color with greenish reflections. Its aromas include notes of white fruit, fennel, fresh grass, and citrus hints. On the palate, it is balanced, with good acidity and an elegant, persistent finish. It is undoubtedly a choice that combines quality, tradition, and flavor.
