Yllera - White Blend

2023

85% Verdejo, 8% Sauvignon Blanc, 6% Chardonnay, 1% Viognier

Rueda, Spain

Bodegas Yllera was founded in the early 1970's by brothers Jesus and Pepe Yllera. Today they are run by the 6th generation of family members and pride themselves on being environmentally friendly. To help avoid oxidation and loss of aromas, they exclusively harvest their grapes at night. This harvesting process, coupled with the clay soils in Rioja, give their wines a unique acidic and aromatic personality. This medium-bodied white blend is made up of 91% Verdejo, 3% Sauvignon Blanc, 2% Chardonnay, 2% Viura, and 2% Viognier and has tasting notes of yellow apples, peach, and honeysuckle. Pair this wine with a spicy Spanish paella or smooth cheeses.
