The 2024 Viña El Portalón Verdejo offers a vibrant and refreshing expression of Spain’s Rueda region, showcasing the varietal’s hallmark aromatic intensity and crisp precision. The nose opens with lively notes of citrus zest, green apple, and white peach, accented by hints of fennel, fresh herbs, and a subtle mineral edge. On the palate, it is medium-bodied yet brisk, with bright acidity driving flavors of lime, orchard fruit, and a touch of melon, all framed by a clean, slightly saline finish. Pure, expressive, and effortlessly drinkable, this Verdejo captures both the freshness and character that make the varietal a standout for warm-weather enjoyment.

This family owned winery located in the heart of the Rueda appellation is in Santiuste de San Juan Bautista, around Segovia; this area is considered to be the best in the DO.
Their vineyards are their pride and joy. The high altitude (830m to 910m) means that the temperature swings from day to night are dramatic, which adds complexity to their wines; due to the sandy soils, the vines can grow safely phylloxera-free, which the family feels allows them to better express the terroir. To give you an idea of how rare this is, there is only one other area with pre-phylloxera vineyards in Castille and León, in Toro to the west.
Their philosohy is simple: they farm sustainably and use only the bare minumim of sulfur to produce wines of freshness and quality, year-in and year-out.
