Telmo Rodriguez Basa Rueda

Rueda owes much of its success to the Verdejo grape. This wine is a true symbol of what made Rueda so great. Over time, the region's wines have been primarily vinified with Sauvignon Blanc. This has led to the wines becoming more similar. Telmo Rodiguez aims to rediscover Rueda's terroir with this wine. The focus is on the grape, resulting in a broader flavor and a delightfully refreshing finish.

A true Rueda Verdejo wine

When you mention Telmo Rodriguez, you immediately think of grand and affordable wines. He knows exactly what the potential of various Spanish wine regions and their corresponding grape varieties is. The grape is always central and determines the wine's composition. Thanks to various travels, the winery has grown and steadily improved in quality. This has allowed them to discover diverse landscapes, grape varieties, and terroirs. For example, the Rioja Alavesa region boasts a soil composed of both clay and limestone. This creates a unique quality, beautifully reflected in the final wine. The wines are all versatile and all made from indigenous grape varieties. To achieve the right balance, the Verdejo is supplemented with 10 percent Viura. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand, allowing for selection during the harvest. Fermentation follows at a controlled temperature. Finally, the wine is aged for several months in stainless steel tanks.

The wide taste palette of Basa Rueda

This Basa Rueda is a surprising wine that displays a different style than other white Rueda wines. It has a broad flavor palette and a tranquil character. As soon as we pour the Basa Rueda, a bouquet of citrus and tropical fruit greets you. A full aroma that immediately jumps from the glass. Telmo has achieved a beautiful balance with this wine, offering the right amount of freshness and complexity. Perfect as an aperitif and pairs well with fish dishes.
