Vinoteka's note
José Pariente made Verdejo in the mid-twentieth century for his own restaurant; his daughter Victoria founded the winery in 1998 and named it after him, and the yeasts are indigenous strains selected from his own vineyards with the University of Navarra. The Verdejo comes from vines planted between 1962 and 1991, fermented in steel, concrete and wood with four months on the lees. Bright straw-yellow with green glints, white fruit, citrus, fennel and garrigue over a mineral base, fleshy and creamy with Verdejo's signature gentle bitterness on the finish. Serve at 7–10 °C with seafood, rice dishes, white meats or smoked food; drinks well to 2029.
“One of the best unaged whites in the region.”Tim Atkin · 93 / 100 · 2025
