ROBLES BRUT NATURE

Piedra Luenga Verdejo is an organic white wine made with the Verdejo grape that grows in our Casilla del Morcillete (Cordoba, Spain)

Tasting Notes

Pale yellow colour with steel coloured hues, clean and crystalline. Fresh and fruity aromas are the predominant characteristics of this wine, highlighting the sour apple with subtle notes of fennel bulb. On the palate it is mild and fleshy with a refreshing finish. The Verdejo grape adopts the identity of the Cordovan countryside, mature and toasty, earthy background and reminiscences of pear, figs and dates compote. Well constructed on the palate, mild and juicy, with a small final acidity which refreshes.

Bodegas Robles and the Michelin-starred chef Paco Morales have elaborated the "VRMT Robles vermouth. Receta Andalusí" based on an organic Oloroso wine that has been aged for eight years in oak barrels, which gives it an elegant vanilla aroma. A light touch of Pedro Ximénez unfolds a wide range of aromas of quince jelly and honey tones. The complex ageing system of Solera and Criaderas produces an Oloroso wine of great ageing that is slightly refreshed each year with younger wines. A unique experience of maturity and freshness.

Piedra Luenga Pedro Ximénez comes from the Pedro Ximénez grapes which after harvest are turned daily by hand in the sunshine until they become raisins. Their juice becomes a wine reminiscent of cherry tree resin and quince with subtle aromas of honey and fig and an elegant touch to citrus fruit.
