What does Circe have that makes it different from other Verdejos? Maybe its beautiful color. Perhaps its delicate and subtle aromas, the sensation of silk in the mouth. This wine is elaborated with grapes from old vines from the villages of Moraleja, Aldeanueva, Codorniz and Santiuste (all in Segovia), harvested by hand at their optimum ripeness.

The wine: Straw yellow color, pale, very bright. On the nose it displays aromas of exotic fruits, white flowers and varietal aromas. In the mouth it is fresh and greedy, with a gentle swallow, silky and with a fragrant and long aftertaste.
