Angel Rodríguez Vidal Description
Ángel Rodríguez Vidal belonged to a family of winegrowers and winemakers from La Seca with a winemaking tradition that dates back to 1780.
Martínsancho is Ángel Rodríguez’ mid 19th-century vineyard in the Rueda. This special vineyard and Ángel himself are responsible for the preservation of Rueda’s indigenous Verdejo grape. Planted in 1972, cuttings from this special vineyard were used in 1976 to establish a 10.11 ha (25-acre) vineyard planted in the traditional head-pruned fashion and dry-farmed. Low yield “Verdejo” produces wines with a delicate floral nose, viscosity, a long finish.
Tasting Note: Concentrated citrus and mineral aromas. Notes of Mediterranean herbs and juicy yellow fruit with stony complexity on the palate, finishing with refreshing, peristent acidity.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2021 Verdejo Rueda, from the DO Rueda, presents a yellow hue. It features aromas of green apple and white flowers over a layer of peach. Dry and concentrated on the palate, the intense flavors and refreshing mouthfeel linger long on the fruit notes. This is a flavorful and compact expression of Rueda.
