Finca Remendio Verdejo/Viura Rueda 2019

The winemaker aims to make elegant Verdejo wines with intense aromatics but also textured palates and balanced acidity. Finca Remendio is made at the family owned and run winery, Bodegas Felix Lorenzo Cachazo. One of the original founding wineries of DO Rueda, the second generation of the family, Angela and Eduardo, now head up the winemaking and administration of this medium sized operation. Their vineyards are amongst the oldest and highest in Rueda.

There is a risk of frost, freezing fog, high winds and hailstones in winter/spring. On the other hand there is only a very small possibility of drought. Normally it rains in spring and autumn, with an average rainfall of 40 mm/year, while the vines receive 2,700 hours of sunlight per year.
