🌟 A refined and expressive Verdejo—vibrant, textural, and full of character from old vines rooted deep in Segovia’s ancient soils.

👁 In the Glass:
Pale straw yellow with greenish glints—bright and youthful, with a touch of elegance.

👃 On the Nose:
Fragrant and layered with aromas of white peach, green apple, and fennel. Hints of citrus zest, wild herbs, and subtle floral notes bring freshness and depth, while a mineral edge nods to the region’s sandy soils.

👅 On the Palate:
Lively and elegant, with juicy orchard fruit, crisp acidity, and a round, slightly creamy texture from time on lees. Fresh yet structured, with subtle spice and a lingering, saline finish that speaks of its high-altitude origin.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with grilled prawns, ceviche, creamy vegetable risottos, or Manchego cheese. Its vibrancy and depth make it a natural partner for both seafood and richer vegetarian dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Delicious now for its freshness and vitality, but will evolve over the next 3–4 years, gaining more richness and complexity.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
‘Quintaluna’ showcases a more serious, elegant side of Verdejo—crafted with precision, from old vines, and far from the typical commercial style. With its balance of freshness, texture, and minerality, it’s a sophisticated white that captures the spirit of Spain’s highland terroir.
