The Winery and Vineyards
A rich history
Avelino Vegas SA manages over 600 hectares of vineyards, including 90 hectares of old vines, some almost a century old. These vineyards, located mainly in Segovia where the bodega is located, are generally small, ranging from 1 to 3 hectares, and are entirely dedicated to the cultivation of Verdejo grapes. The age of these vineyards contributes to the complexity of the aromas and the structure of the wine.
The perfect terroir
The grapes for this CIRCE Verdejo come from prized vineyards in the Segovian villages of Moraleja, Aldeanueva, Codorniz and Santiuste. Harvest is done by hand, at the peak of ripeness, to guarantee the best quality.
Production method: A careful process
Gentle maceration
A gentle cold maceration allows the must (grape juice) to absorb all the characteristics of the Verdejo grape. This method preserves the freshness and aromatic richness of the grape.
Controlled fermentation
Fermentation takes place at a controlled low temperature of 12°C. This careful temperature control ensures an optimal balance between freshness and complexity.
Maturation on fine lees
After fermentation, the wine is aged on its fine lees, which contributes to the silky mouthfeel and lingering finish. This process creates a rich texture and an even deeper flavor profile.
Taste and Aromas: A true sensation
A bright, pale color
The wine has a bright, pale straw yellow color, a visual sign of its youth and freshness.
Exotic aromas
The nose reveals aromas of exotic fruit, white flowers and the typical characteristics of the Verdejo grape. Think nuances of citrus, spice, and a mineral touch.
Fresh and elegant
On the palate, the CIRCE Verdejo is both fresh and elegant, with a silky mid-palate and a long, aromatic finish. The crisp acidity provides balance, while the subtle sweetness gives the wine a delightful complexity.
Ideal pairing suggestions
This delightful Verdejo is perfect as an aperitif and pairs beautifully with light dishes. Try it with fish, shellfish, or a plate of foie gras. The crisp acidity and fruity aromas cut perfectly through the rich flavors of these dishes.
75cl bottle
The Avelino Vegas CIRCE Verdejo comes in a stylish 75cl bottle, perfect for sharing with friends or a relaxing evening alone.
