Tasting Notes: In its tasting, it shows a brighter golden color than the 2016 vintage since, although it has more aging time, it has spent less time in the bottle. The movement preserves freshness very well, but it is already starting to become unctuous, elegant, and undoubtedly sensual.
The nose is of high intensity, very frank, with great clarity of the varietal aromas that predominate at first. When aired, the aging process and the contribution of its lees arrive. Not as well integrated as the previous vintage that has had more time in the bottle to harmonize, but it is already beginning to give excellent sensations for lovers of complex and elegant white wines. It gains in freshness and fruit compared to the 2018 vintage, but it falls slightly behind in complexity and presence of the bouquet.
The palate is smooth, fresh, with a lot of fruit, maintaining liveliness in the passage through the palate. Power, elegance, and silkiness where the lees and the barrel give it depth, but without losing the freshness of the varietal. The aftertaste combines fruit and spices, different from the previous vintage.
Serving Temperature: 6-8ºC

Liberso is the first wine created in this winery, interesting and different, a product of discovering the limits that various values of this grape variety such as verdejo possess.
To achieve this result, 19 different wines were produced; wines that have gone through various processes, the first in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature and aged with their lees for 9 months to preserve their spontaneity. On the other hand, individually, 18 wines were fermented and aged for 9 months in French, American, and Hungarian oak barrels from 12 of the world's best coopers and in 3 different volumes of 225, 300, and 500 liters.

The verdejo grape
The Verdejo grape has inhabited the Rueda Designation of Origin for more than ten centuries. Its character is determined by its aroma and flavor, with hints of low mountain grass, fruity notes, and excellent acidity. The extract, a factor of personality in great white wines, is noticeable for its volume and its characteristic bitter touch that projects a flash of originality in the mouth, accompanied by a great fruit expression. These are wines of great harmony, whose memory after passing through the mouth invites you to continue tasting.
Continental Climate
The Rueda DO is located between 700 and 870 meters above sea level, with flat but high lands, enduring cold and very long winters, short springs with late frosts, and hot and dry summers, only interrupted by untimely storms.
