This marvellous wine has a beautiful fragrance of golden apples, quince and a suggestion of pine woods. It's rounded and creamy in texture, with lovely freshness and balance. A far cry from the homogenous vineyards of northern Rueda, an hour to the south in Nieva, there is a varied landscape of pine forests and massive slate boulders, interspersed with ancient vineyards planted on pure sand. 60% of the fruit that goes into Quintaluna comes from ungrafted vines, including some planted in the 19th Century (the sandy soil protects the vines from the Phylloxera louse, meaning that they can survive without having to be grafted). The vine age results in an intensity and complexity that is extremely rare in wines made with the Verdejo grape.

Press Review
" 100% Verdejo. Not a typical Verdejo nose – more subtle and nuanced – just the slightest suggestion of grassiness. Lovely fresh palate with a mealy note and stone fruits, apricot skin. Lovely weight and a slight salty twang on the finish. Very good. Drink 2021 – 2026. "
Winemaking
Quintaluna grapes handpicked, sorted, destemmed, gently pressed. Fermentation in small stainless steel vats with native yeasts. Nine months on lees in same tanks, casks, barrels. Clarified, bottled in summer after harvest. Quintaluna: the essence of meticulous craftsmanship.

Very different and very enjoyable
A very interesting wine that marries some lovely stoned fruit character with spice and minerality. I drunk it on its own, but would go very well with either fish or meat. A very versatile and immensely enjoyable wine. Wish I had bought two bottles!
