Ribera del Duero is considered a top destination for powerful red wines. But just a few kilometers down the Duero, the Rueda shines with fragrant white wines. Here, near the river, the Verdejo grows for Torres' white celeste. The grapes are harvested when they are optimally ripe, taken immediately to the winery in Villafranca del Duero and macerated cold for three hours before starting the fairly cool fermentation at 14 °C in stainless steel tanks. The wines then remain on the fine lees for two months and will be bottled from March 2022. Celeste Verdejo seduces with an intense, varietal bouquet of fennel, green almonds and white summer flowers. Elegant and silky on the palate, with fine tension, lively acidity and wonderful length in the final.
