Balnea’s vineyards are located in La Seca, in the south of Valladolid, on a high altitude (2400 foot) plateau. The soil is rich in limestone with a gravel sublayer beneath. The low fertility of the soil and the scarce rains combine to produce low yields of highly concentrated grapes. Winters are harsh, dry and sunny (2600 hours/year) allowing a perfect ripening of the grapes. The Continental climate, with extreme temperature differences between day and night, is the reason for the unique balance achieved in these grapes.
Citrus and herbal notes on the nose, with a creamy and delicate body. Top quality Verdejo grapes are hand harvested at the peak of ripeness creating a wonderful value white wine.
