Ribera del Duero is considered a top destination for powerful red wines. But just a few kilometers down the Duero, Rueda shines with fragrant white wines. Here, near the river, the Verdejo for Torres' white Celeste also grows. The grapes are harvested when they are optimally ripe, immediately brought to the winery in Villafranca del Duero and initially cold mashed for three hours before the fairly cool fermentation at 14 °C begins in stainless steel tanks. The wines then remain on the fine yeasts for two months and are then bottled. 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 a wonderful length in the finish.
