Villacezán Elverite White

Produced from the Verdejo grape, grown in the family vineyards at Dehesa de Villacezán, this fresh, clean wine was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and shows a brilliant, pale-yellow color with a slight greenish glitter. Fresh & intense fruit and floral aromas lead to flavors of green apple, honey and anise.

With a silky feel in the mouth, well-balanced acidity and a long finish, Elverite is the ideal accompaniment to many dishes (including fish, shellfish, and chicken) and is also perfect on its own.





Reaching it's fullest potential in the Castile-León region,
which also includes D.O. Rueda, Verdejo seems poised to become Spain's
second great white (following on the heals of Galicia's Albariño.)
When grown in the right locations, under the proper conditions,
verdejo possesses ample fruit, acidity, and glycerin to provide
some exciting drinking. Presoaking prior to fermentation, as is practiced
with Elverite, also adds to wine's complexity. Though Elverite sees no oak
(and we prefer it that way), verdejo's structure and complexity can handle
judicious use of wood and also exhibits some potential for short-term aging,
picking up nutty and honeyed notes after a few years in bottle.
