Bodegas Rodríguez y Sanzo, Palo Norte 2020
DO Rueda. 13.5%. 97 points
A wonderful new wine! This is Verdejo fermented in barrel then aged under flor for 3-6
months, followed by oxidative aging for 12-24 months. There is even a drop of a 100 year
old wine in the blend from old cellars they bought in Rueda. While there are hints of Jerez
on the nose, the variety’s chamomile character is still on show along with mango and lemon.
It is very aromatic and complex, and the palate is wonderfully dry with citrus peel, almond
and quince. An exciting reinvention of Rueda’s past. 2025-35
