2021 Pago del Cielo by Torres 'Celeste' Verdejo Sur Lies Rueda

Winemaker Notes:  The wine has a bright, clear, pale gold color. It has an aroma that carries the distinct flavors of fennel and green almond, with subtle hints of white floral notes. On the palate, it is smooth and has a firm texture, with a refined acidity that gives it a long finish.

This wine is great as an appetizer and pairs well with shellfish, fresh and fried fish, green salads, and citrus dressings. It is best served at a temperature between 8°C and 10°C.

3 hours of skin contact and fermented in stainless steel tank under controlled temperatures for 15 days. Aged on lees for 2 months.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "Zingy gooseberries with green herbs and spices. Very pure and tangy with crystalized acidity that cuts into the pure, creamy palate, with a delicious saline edge to the green and white fruit. Elegant and zesty."
