Malvasía, Verdejo
Tentenecio
The legend tells that one day a brave bull escaped through the streets, causing panic in the population. Saint Juan de Sahagún, upon encountering it, signaled to stop, saying ‘Detente, necio’ (Stop, fool), thus giving rise to the saying and to this wine.

Vineyards and wine making
40-year-old bush-trained vineyards, characterised by very sandy soils with some gravel. Hand-harvested in plastic crates with sorting at the winery, followed by cold maceration on its own lees for two months. Vinification takes place with temperature control in 10-hectolitre stainless steel tanks. Alcoholic fermentation with native yeasts.
Tasting notes
Clean and bright, with a yellow colour and greenish hues. Medium aromatic intensity and complexity, showing herbaceous, aniseed, and toasted notes. The palate is broad and silky, well balanced, with pleasant acidity. The mouthfeel is expansive and smooth, leading to a long, structured finish with a slight hint of bitterness. A harmonious, balanced, and elegant wine.
Food pairing
A perfect pairing with salads, fish, rice dishes, pasta, and white meats. Best served between 4–10°C. It will continue to evolve positively over the next two years due to its time in barrel. Store in optimal conditions at 14–16°C and 70–80% relative humidity.
