The 2022 Quinta Apolonia is going to be released already as the market is moving fast, fermentations have been quick and easy and the wine was bottled a couple of weeks before I tasted it. It was a year marked by very warm temperatures in the summer and lack of rain. They started the harvest very early, in late August, and harvested for one month; it was a complex harvest, as some vineyards had to be harvested over up to five different points of time. They had to sort and discard, and yields were low and production lower than other years. The wines are a little riper and more advanced. This has a golden color and an open, expressive nose of peach and bay leaf with some rose petals too, a little exotic with notes reminiscent of Moscatel or even Gewurztraminer. It has a gentle mouthfeel with lower acidity too. There are 77,000 bottles and 2,320 magnums of this wine. It was bottled in November 2022.
Winery
• 100% Verdejo. • 1/3 of the blend is declassified, barrel-fermented juice from the top wine. • The remaining 2/3 is fruit from young vines fermented in tank.

Region: Castilla Y Leon

The ancient, arid and beautiful region of Castilla y Leon is the largest in Spain, and amongst the largest single 'regions' in any country of Europe. It has been famed throughout the centuries for its architecture, its people, its art and literature, and not least for its characterful and flavorful wines, which capture the beating heart and passion of Spain and Spanish culture. Castilla y Leon is essentially a vast plateau, and is extremely dry, with a poor soil structure which one might think would make viticulture difficult, if not impossible. However, Castilla y Leon has plenty of native grape varietals which are able to stretch their roots deep underground, to tap into the moisture and minerals which can be found there.

Country: Spain

Spanish wines are renowned world-wide for carrying all the passion and character of the Spanish culture within them. Any lover of Spanish wine would undoubtedly be able to confirm this notion, as the variety and range of flavors and aromas coming from the high end of Spanish produce is truly impressive, and continues to delight and fascinate both newcomers and the more experienced. Spain benefits massively from an ideal climate for wine production and vine cultivation, with its long, scorching hot summers and far reaching oceanic breezes working perfectly with the native and imported grape varietals, which thrive on the mineral rich soils that cover much of the country. With centuries of knowledge, and generations of expertise under their belts, Spanish wineries continue to focus on raising the quality of their nation's wines, helped along the way by relatively new laws and regulations regarding regional excellence and representativeness.
