Caserío de Dueñas

Run today by the remarkable Almudena Alberca, one of the most renowned winemakers in Spain and the first Spanish woman to achieve the status of Master of Wine, is Caserío de Dueñas. It is a singular estate, with a history dating back to the 1700s, with over 300 hectares of prime vineyard land in the heart of Rueda, some being amongst the most highly regarded in the region, in terms of quality. Thanks to minimal intervention throughout the whole winemaking process, the characteristics of the Verdejo variety are preserved fully, in all their facets. Almudena creates truly profound and expressive wines using the Verdejo grape. The Verdejo superior is a gorgeous wine, with light creamy notes on the palate, intertwined with citrus, limes and grapefruit. Thanks to a small amount of time on its lees, it has a wonderful silky texture and great breadth and volume, which is all streamlined with some mouth watering acidity and a refreshing minerality. It would perfectly accompany a wide variety of dishes including fish, white meats, salads, a variety of vegetable dishes, foie gras and cheeses.
