Portia Verdejo Sobre Lías

Portia Verdejo Sobre Lías

Bodegas Portia is Grupo Faustino’s most recent winery project and is the 7th winery in the group. Located in the heart of Ribera del Duero, the Portia winery is a display of modern design, winemaking function and artistic detail. The brand offers very small production wines - intense, energetic & balanced. 

Wine Production

Harvesting at night allows the grapes to maintain all of their organoleptic qualities, as well as a balance between alcohol content and acidity. Once in the winery, the grapes are cold-macerated for a few hours before being pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature to maintain all the characteristics of the best Verdejo white wine.

Tasting Notes

Bright wine with good herb and fruit intensity across the palate. Notes of boxwood, coriander, and tomato leaf with richer tropical fruits framed by citrus lime. Fresh, bright finish.

Food Pairing

Enjoy on its own or with an array of appetizers, soft cheeses, grilled fish and seasonal salads.

About the Vineyard

Portia Verdejo Rueda wine expresses the identity of Rueda's unique landscape and gastronomic expression of the Verdejo grape variety.
