Viña Salceda, 'Puente De Salceda' Verdejo, 2023, Rueda (DO)

'One-Liner'
A bright, aromatic Verdejo with white fruit, citrus and a clean aniseed-flecked finish.

Tasting Note
Bright straw yellow in the glass, with a light green tint. The nose is expressive and lifted, showing stone fruit, white fruit and citrus, with a little hay and aniseed in the background. On the palate it feels fresh and well balanced, with juicy fruit, good intensity and a long, clean finish. Crisp, easy and very drinkable.

The Story
Puente de Salceda is Viña Salceda’s Verdejo from Rueda, made in a clean, aromatic style that leans into freshness and varietal clarity. Direct pressing with a short maceration in the press, followed by settling and low-temperature fermentation to preserve the grape’s more lifted, fruit-led character. In the glass, that all makes sense – bright fruit, a touch of hay and aniseed, and a finish that stays fresh and tidy.
