2022 Verdejo La Caprichosa | Palacio de Bornos | Rueda Wine

Experience the Crisp Elegance of Rueda Verdejo

Crafted by Palacio de Bornos in Spain’s renowned Rueda region, this 2022 Verdejo wine captivates with its vibrant citrus character and sophisticated complexity. Awarded 91 Points by Vinous, this lees-aged gem offers a refreshing balance of bold flavors and velvety texture—perfect for poolside sipping or pairing with fresh seafood.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Pale golden hues with subtle green undertones catch the light like a summer sunrise.
• Aroma: Aromatic intensity explodes with notes of hay-fired citrus zest, balsamic herbs, and a touch of nutty vanilla from four months of lees aging.
• Palate: Crisp yet unctuous, this wine glides across the tongue with effervescent energy before revealing a lingering finish that mirrors its aromatic elegance—think tangy orange peel wrapped in velvety silk.

Why This Wine Stands Out

• Lees Aging Mastery: Gentle stirring during aging enhances texture and depth, setting it apart from typical Verdejos.
• Versatile Pairing Potential: Ideal for grilled shrimp tacos or creamy goat cheese salads—its brightness cuts through richness while its herbal notes add intrigue.
• Summer-Ready: Light enough for warm afternoons yet structured enough to impress at dinner parties.
