A delightful yellow-green straw color, with strong aromas of mango, grapefruit, and lime accented with delicate floral notes. Fresh and well balanced it is round and voluminous in the mouth with superb acidity. A wine of real density and substance.

The del Villar brothers founded Bodega Hermanos del Villar in 1995, with 247 acres of vines in the town of Rueda which is located in the central area of the depression formed by the Duero River. The soils are dark grey-brown, rich in calcium and magnesium, stony but easy to farm with limestone outcrops on the hilltops. It varies from sandy-loamy to loamy. The subsoil retains moisture for the vines, even during the dry, active growing season. The vines are over 30 years old, producing lower yields and more concentrated fruit. The most widely planted white varieties are – Verdejo, Sauvignon Blanc, Viura (also known as Macabeo) and for red – Tempranillo. The wines are vinified and matured in a renovated 17th century cellar equipped with state-of-the-art technology.
