"Beautiful green-fruit aromas combine with a hint of citrus fruits to give a fresh and vibrant nose. Fresh, varietal fruit with citrus notes and excellent acidity."
Alvarez y Diez was founded in the Rueda region in 1941 and has long been one of the most important players in an increasingly important D.O. Over the recent past, major investments have been made - and continue to be made - to ensure that the winery is at the vanguard of changing wine styles in the region. Concentrating on the indigenous Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc, they were one of the first to produce the crisp, herbaceous style so associated with the region today and also the first to introduce screwcaps to the region.
A combination of some of the oldest vines in the D.O, poor soils and high density planting help to contribute to the exemplary quality of fruit harvested by Alvarez y Diez which is amply demonstrated in the finished wines. Newer plantings are machine harvested at night whilst the old vines are all hand harvested.
