Description
Few decisions mark a life as much as that of Victoria Pariente, who, after years of learning among vineyards and wineries, decided to pay tribute to her father -JoséPariente-by making wines that not only express the soul of the Verdejo grape, but also break with the moulds of the predictable. Thus was born a white wine that is far from the usual, a bold commitment to complexity and character: José Pariente Verdejo Fermentado en Barrica (Barrel Fermented Verdejo). Here, the tradition of Rueda is intertwined with a restless and modern vision, which seeks to give a second reading to this native grape. The result is a deeper, more leisurely interpretation that breathes authenticity.
Sourced from old vineyards grown in stony, limestone soils - located at an altitude of over 750 metres on the Castilian plateau - José Pariente Verdejo Fermentado en Barrica is born from vines that have withstood the weather and the continental climate, with its days of extreme heat and surprisingly cold nights. The 100% Verdejo that composes it is not just any variety: it is the Verdejo of always, but worked with extreme respect for its environment, seeking to extract its most honest and expressive version.
Winemaking
Fermentation in fine-grained, softly toasted French oak barrels does not seek to disguise the grape, but rather to give it a different structure, an elegant envelope. For approximately 6 months, José Pariente Verdejo Fermentado en Barrica remains with its lees, in contact with the wood and with gentle batonnages that awaken volume and nuances. There is no rush, no unnecessary additives: here the rhythm of nature and the sensitivity of the person who accompanies it rule. This process gives the wine an unctuousness that contrasts sublimely with its vibrant acidity.
Taste
In the mouth, José Pariente Verdejo Fermentado en Barrica displays an enveloping and elegant texture. The first impression is of unctuousness, which is balanced by a vibrant and refreshing acidity. Flavours of ripe peach, apricot and a subtle hint of tropical fruit stand out, accompanied by fine notes of creamy oak and a light touch of sweet spice. The minerality underlies every sip, adding depth and character. The finish is long, lingering and full of nuances, leaving a harmonious sensation that invites further exploration. A wine that, according to many full-bodied white wine lovers, gains complexity with every minute in the glass.
