100% Verdejo. Organically grown vines planted from 1989 to 2009. Oro de Castilla Verdejo is made in a classic style which showcases the bright, fresh and mineral flavors of this grape. Renowned wine critic Josh Raynolds considers this wine “a textbook Verdejo" while the Spanish Wine Academy presents it as a “best example” Verdejo within the Rueda region section of its Spanish Wine Educator (SWE) certification program. Its name, translating to "the Gold of Castile," pays homage to its roots. Located at a high elevation, overlooking Rueda, the vineyard is planted in a bed of river stones covering a limestone subsoil. The vines are among the oldest in the region, with deep root systems that penetrate the limestone and mineral subsoils. Oro de Castilla is best enjoyed when it is young, for it is a wine that is all about the youth and bright, lively flavors of the Verdejo grape.

"The 2024 Verdejo Oro de Castilla hails from Rueda. Sourced from a fresh vintage and produced using regenerative agriculture practices, it shows a green color and floral aromas, with notes of grapefruit, green apple and balsamic mint. Clear and expressive, it prioritizes complexity over intensity. Nuances of field herbs enhance the profile."-Joaquin Hidalgo
