San Boal

Eduardo and Beatriz have been working in organic viticulture since 2010. The vineyards from San Boal are located Pozaldez, Valladolid, within the Rueda D.O, but they don’t belong to the appellation because their approach to viticulture and winemaking is opposite of Rueda's industrial phillosophy. In this single vineyard, called La Encina, harvest is made by hand. This Certified Organic wine is made with 100% Verdejo grapes and macerated with the skins for few hours. The fermentation process takes place with indigenous yeast and is left on its lees for 8 months through the process of battonage. San Boal white wine is showing the original flavours of Verdejo grape. Production: 10.000 bottles.
