Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The serious Verdejo white 2023 El Transistor was produced with the grapes from one of the oldest vineyards in the village of La Seca, where they get some 15,000 bottles. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in oak barrels and foudres of different sizes and concrete vats, where it matured for six to seven months. It's paler than Basa, subtler, less varietal and more herbal, savory and balsamic. It has 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.4 and 5.8 grams of acidity and is dry, gentle and balanced. It follows the path of the 2022. 10,427 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2024.

Description
Transistor Verdejo is a highly prestigious white wine produced in the Rueda region. Produced by the Telmo Rodríguez winery, this wine stands out for its purity and authenticity, using exclusively the Verdejo grape variety. The grapes are meticulously selected from old vineyards, planted in sandy and stony soils, which contribute to its unique character.
Winemaking
The winemaking process of El Transistor follows traditional methods, combining modern techniques to guarantee the highest quality. Fermentation is carried out in French oak barrels, which allows ageing on the lees for several months, adding complexity and depth to the wine.
Taste
The taste of El Transistor Verdejo is a reflection of its terroir and careful winemaking. On the nose, intense aromas of white fruit, such as apple and pear, accompanied by subtle herbaceous notes and hints of white flowers. On the palate, it is fresh and balanced, with a vibrant acidity that gives it a remarkable vivacity. The fruit flavours are harmoniously integrated with light mineral nuances and an elegant smoky finish due to its barrel ageing. This wine has a robust structure and a lingering aftertaste, making it ideal for pairing with a variety of dishes, from fish and seafood to white meats and soft cheeses.
Transistor Verdejo is an excellent choice for wine lovers looking for an authentic and sophisticated experience, representing the best of the Rueda appellation.
