La Misión 1,50 L. 2022. Secala – Menade 1820

La Misión comes from hundred-year-old vines planted on estates with predominantly sandy soils.

Verdeja has distinctive structural features: the grapes are smaller, the bunches are more oval and because of its thick skin is more resistant to diseases such as botrytis.

The aromas are the expression of authentic verdeja: more rustic, but also more authentic. The analytical parameters reveal higher acidity and more concentrated grapes.

The grapes are harvested by hand and pressed as whole bunches. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks using indigenous wild yeasts. It is then aged partly in 500-litre French oak barrels; partly in 5,000 and 10,000-litre vats or pipes, and partly in vats of different capacities made with a percentage of clay from Menade’s own vineyards.

After ageing for about a year, La Misión is bottled and refined for a period of time in the historic cellar. This is a return to a more earthy origin.
