El Transistor 2022

There is a flinty and smoky twist in the 2022 El Transistor, a pure Verdejo from stony soils. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in barriques, foudres and concrete vats, where it matured after six or seven months. To keep the freshness, the whites from Rueda don't go through malolactic fermentation, and this kept a healthy level of acidity and pH (3.33), while the alcohol was 13%. This is rich without excess and fills your mouth, and it has the chalky texture from the limestone rich soils. Tasty. 13,902 bottles were filled in May 2023.

A single parcel wine from 45 year old Verdejo bush vines in La Seca. It is a serious wine that has the hallmark structure of the 2022 vintage and is reminiscent of a white Graves. Lots of refreshing green aromas of pine forest and kiwi fruit, the palate is elegant and direct. There’s a certain richness and complexity from the use of foudres, barrels and concrete egg during six months of ageing, and the wine finishes with clear mineral definition. 2024-28.
