Mirlo

The White Wine Mirlo from Bodega Alegre Wines & Spirits presents this white wine from D.O. Rueda, made from 100% Verdejo grape varieties. This wine is a tribute to the quintessential variety of the La Seca area (Valladolid). A wine made with passion, the perfect balance between barrel fermentation and freshness, richness in the mouth and acidity.

The grapes come from a vineyard with old vines between 50 and 70 years old planted in bush form. The vines, in the historical framework known as Tresbolillo, are grouped in fives. The soil is clay-loam, covered with river stones, and is extremely important for achieving quality grapes. The surface sands (given their proximity to the river, at 700 meters altitude) and the continental climate with its strong day-night contrasts endow the grapes with all their character. Production: Half of the fermentation takes place in 300-500 liter barrels and the other half in stainless steel tanks, where the wine rests with its fine lees for 5 months, until the moment when both wines are blended. Wood is used to round out, to give body to the wine, not to disguise it with woody aromas.
