Description

Bodega Pago de Larrea is a perfectly situated 15.5 hectare vineyard planted in 1980 and privately owned by the Larrea family who were co-founders of Vina Salceda. The vines are protected from harsh winds and rain by a limestone ridge to the north, and border the River Ebro to the south, dividing the Rioja Alavesa from the Rioja Alta.

Larrea’s Verderon is a wonderful oak-aged white Rioja from a boutique, organic estate, where quality rather than quantity is the maxim. It is fermented and aged for five months in barrel, resting on its lees, before bottling to gain extra complexity. Aromas of pear, white peach and cedar on the nose. The palate is as complex as it is refreshing, try pairing with a fresh seafood platter.
