This wine is produced by Isaac Fernandez in partnership with a winery whose modern day operations began in 1941. The winery is located in the heart of Rueda just south of the Duero river and has over 80 hectares of vineyards. After harvesting the grapes are destemmed and undergo a pre-crush cold maceration for several hours. A gentle press is followed by a slow, temperature controlled (max temperature is 17° C) in stainless steel tanks.

“The 2018 Verdejo “Egeo” from Isaac Fernandez Selección is a terrific example of this underrated
varietal, with the nose jumping from the glass in a vibrant blend of lime, green olive, beautiful floral
scents, a lovely base of minerality and just a hint of beeswax in the upper register. On the palate the
wine is full-bodied, crisp and beautifully deep at the core, with bright acids, lovely focus and grip and a long, well-balanced and complex finish. This is a stunning value! 2020-2030.”
