Vintage
The 2022 vintage in the DO Rueda has been the longest of its entire history, since it began at dawn on Tuesday, August 16, earlier than in all historical records, and concluded on the week of October 17,. A rather complicated vintage compared to recent years.From a sanitary point of view, the 2022 harvest has been very good due to the excellent quality of the grapes, which have not presented any problems with humidity or fungi, which most affect the final quality. This is a vintage with great potential from a qualitative point of view.

Winemaking
100% Old Vine Verdejo, from the high, stony part of La Seca (village) and one specific vineyard - parcels #23. The must is cold macerated with the skins for eight hours at 7º C, enhancing the Verdejo?s characteristic aromas. Fermentation takes place at 14-16ºC, which helps to maintain and intensify the variety?s unique flavour. Afterwards, the wine is kept in contact with the fine lees to strengthen its structure by providing fatty acids and more ample and glycerine like sensations on the palate.

Aging
The grapes used to produce this wine come from parcel #23 in La Seca. The wine growing region of La Seca is widely considered the premium area in the appellation Rueda. Around 10% of the wine ages on the lees in new French oak for 3-4 months to gain structure and intensity. Out of the 80 hectares owned and controlled by Bodegas Val de Vid, we have selected some of the best vineyards and grapes that grow in poor rocky soils with good drainage.
