La Misión, not made from the VerdejO but from the VerdejA. The "Verdeja" differs from Verdejo in that the grapes are smaller, the bunches more oval and, due to the thicker skin, more resistant to fungi such as botrytis. At the same time, it also has significantly higher acidity that goes along with much greater concentration. In the process, it also spends 10 months in a combination of 500-liter French oak barrels, steel and amphorae of varying sizes.
This is complex, aromatic and has clear "zing". A touch of sweet apple and subdued oak does the rest. Powerful! A plate of paella with shellfish works wonders with the wine.
