Campo Eliseo, comes from a selection of our best and oldest vineyards in the Rueda Appellation. These old vines go very deep into the gravelly soil to capture the little of moisture present in the underground. Our vineyard is located between 600 and 700 metres of altitude on the plateau of Rueda and Toro appellations. The Duero river nearby has an attenuating effect on thermal variations which are quite large in this region.
Beautiful yellow tunic with golden sparkles. An intense, fresh and coarse nase. Notes of ripe fruit of white pulp, today freshly cut and dried flowers. In mouth it is structured and viscous with a good balance, long in mouth with an interesting oromotic complexity.
2019 was a year with very low rainfall, the great "sequilla", great drought. There was no rainfall between November and August: 230 mm accumulated in Rueda, which is little, even for this semi-arid region. The quality of the grapes remains preserved, because even with this great drought we had no burning heat wave phenomenon. All our vines are in organic farming, certified for our plots of red since 2019 and in transition for out white plots. We do work without SSO2 and we only add the ultimate corection at the last moment and in very small doses.
Can be enjoyed on its own, as a summer drink or with shellfish.
