Verdejo

The grapes come from various organically managed plots with vines that are, on average, between 20 and 30 years old. The vineyards are located on a high plateau (meseta) at an altitude of 700 to 800 meters above sea level, resulting in large temperature differences between day and night. The soil is a mix of clay, limestone, and a dense top layer of pebbles (galets or boulders), ensuring excellent heat reduction and drainage. Menade maintains a strict ecosystem policy; the vineyard is a 'living garden' where natural enemies (insects and birds) and specific plants protect biodiversity and aerate the soil. Yields are deliberately kept low, between 6,000 and 8,000 kg/hectare, for optimal aromatic concentration.
