Alvarez y Diez, Mantel Blanco Verdejo, Rueda 2023	92 Tim Atkin The Verdejo for Mantel Blanco comes from the estate’s own vineyards in Pago de la Serna at 770m, all managed sustainably. Vinified in stainless steel, it is a fresh and lively Verdejo but with some concentration and palate weight from an extended time on lees. It is a very pure expression of both the stony nature of the vineyard and the variety with intense grassy notes and zippy citrus fruits.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
