White wine
Belondrade y Lurton Rueda
Full bodied, rich and ageworthy this is a white wine with attitude and personality. Aged on its lees in oak it has toasty notes, smoke, stone fruit, spice and a nutty character. At its best with a bit of bottle age.

Belondrade y Lurton
Didier Belondrade set up camp in Rueda in 1994 having recognized the potential for making high quality whites from the local grape Verdejo. He’s fared pretty well since and his whites are perenially recognized as not only some of the best in Rueda but the best in Spain. The 40hA estate is divided in 23 plots which are meticulously cared for – viticulture is organically certified (which they don’t put on the label). The wines are made in a Burgundian style with lots of creamy texture.
