Cata De Morante

2013 Rueda Verdejo

Aljibes Cata De Morante is a delightful white wine hailing from the renowned Rueda region, crafted from the expressive Verdejo varietal. This vintage, released in 2013, displays a brilliant pale yellow color that hints at its youthful vibrancy. On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied experience, characterized by a refreshing acidity that brings to mind the invigorating essence of ripe citrus fruits and green apple. The fruit intensity is prominent yet finely balanced, providing a lively mouthfeel that is both satisfying and easygoing. As a dry wine, it concludes with a crisp finish that pairs beautifully with seafood, salads, or light appetizers, making it a perfect choice for both casual gatherings and more polished soirées.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
