Vega Vella White | EU-Japan

Wines

Grape varieties: Sauvignon Blanc and White Grenache
Own vineyards located in Eastern Rioja, facing north- south, in a fertile soil, clay- calcareous, in organic farming for over 30 years. Vineyards of small production. We obtain unctuous wines.
The climate is Mediterranean with some Atlantic influence and an average rainfall of 450 l/m2.
Elaboration: Extraction of the must after cold maceration with the skins. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16ºC to safeguard the varietal aromas. Fresh, aromatic wine, with a little carbonic from the maceration itself, which gives us aroma, soft freshness, velvety flavour and produces endless ethereal sensations that relax the spirit and soul.
Alcohol: 13,0% Vol.
Serve at 8-10 ºC
Colour: Lemon yellow, clean and bright.
Nose: Aromas of tropical fruits such as mango, pineapple and kiwi, combined with citric fruits. Also, prominent aromas of green fruits and a hint of herbs, giving way to a certain minerality.
Palate: Fresh and strong in the mouth, with powerful citrus and mineral notes. The Sauvignon Blanc provides freshness, spectacular aromas and an agreeable acidity, to counterbalance the creaminess and volume of the White Grenache.
Parish: White fish, seafood, rice, pasta, potatoes and light structure dishes.

Bodegas Cornelio Dinastía

We are a family Rioja winery with one of the largest offer of organic wines with modern cut in the market – being, in example, the most Decanter Awarded Rioja winery in 2020- and we are enlarging our distribution network, considering that we elaborate some wines totally different to other riojas with Vega Vella, as well as the most representative riojas with Cornelio.
Vega Vella is one of the largest range of organic wines in the market.
Over 30 years in organic farming, which grants a high degree of expertise, purity of the terroir and variety and allow us to focus on high quality, enabled by low productions and the privileged
location of our terroirs, in windy sun facing slopes, poor clay soils and Mediterranean climate with scarce annual rainfall.
Modern procedures, protecting and enhancing the fruits, scarce varieties in Rioja and innovative blending make our wines special, attractive and modern.
Like Cornelio, limited editions, High International Ratings, certify our excellence. We have been the most Decanter Awarded winery in Rioja in 2020 and for third year in a row great winner at Ecovino.
