Region: Rueda, Castille and Leon, Spain Grape(s): Verdejo Winemaker: Miguel Arroyo Izquierdo Drinks Best: Now - 2 Years
Though Miguel Arroyo Izquierdo only began commercially making wine in 2010, he is a 4th generation grape grower whose family has been tending vineyards with parcels aged over 100 years. After slowly acquiring surrounding parcels and planting them with cuttings from his famliy’s venerable vines, he rebuilt a state-of-the-art winery to launch his dream. Dedicated almost entirely to Verdejo, each wine he makes is a study in vien and parcel selection. This is his introductory label, kept entirely in stainless for freshness and to keep the zippy citrus fruit tone is focus. It pops with juicy grapefruit with a touch fresh green herbs.
