Medievo wines are the fruit of the work of generations of farmers who form Medievo and from the hands and know-how of their winemaker Santiago Garde. Bodegas del Medievo grows its grapes in the foothills of the Sierra de Yerga. This area constitutes an ancestral edaphoclimatic unit, recognized since ancient times.
Although the winery is located at an altitude of 300m. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of between 400-550m. With not very fertile ferrous clay soils that together with the low rainfall make the vine grow in harsh conditions, limiting productivity and increasing quality.
The Medievo Barrel Fermented Rioja Blanco is made from a blend of Viura and Chardonnay. Fermented for 3-4 months in French oak, this wine is a delightfully classic white Rioja. Brilliant lemon in colour with an attractive, rich, citrus nose. It is very full on palate with citrus flavours – lemon zest and pear skins – and a touch of salinity, beeswax and very delicate oak. Crisp, good acidity, with a pleasant and persistent finish. This wine is perfect with paella and seafood.
