High-altitude vineyards and cool nights
The grapes for Bodegas Onerom Verdejo are grown around Albatana in
Albacete on calcareous and stony soils about 850 meters above
sea level.
The climate is dry and continental with hot summers and cold winters.
The high altitude also provides cooler nights, which help
to preserve the freshness and aromatic qualities of the Verdejo grapes.
Manual night harvest and vinification
The grapes are harvested manually at night, when the
temperature is lower. Afterward, the grapes are sorted before the
wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks.
The use of steel tanks rather than barrels is quite deliberate: it is all
about preserving the Verdejo grape's fresh fruit, crisp acidity, and natural
aromatic character.
Tasting notes
The color is light yellow with fine greenish tones. The scent is fresh and
aromatic with notes of apple, pear, and fine herbs.
On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively with excellent acidity, good length, and
the characteristic slightly bitter finish, which is a classic
hallmark of Verdejo.
