2023 Bodegas Vega de Tera. Verdejo, Castilla y Leon, Spain
$13.99
Miguel Regil’s passion for wine drove him to create Vega de Tera with his father-in-law, Manuel Cunarro. Miguel was working as the commercial director for a Spanish engineering firm when Manuel asked him to help him run a new wine project in Benavente. Being a wine love Miguel agreed, and they agreed that their ultimate and only goal would be high standards of wine production.
The vineyards are located in Toro and Brime de Urz. Wine production in this part of Castilla y Leon is said to be pre-Roman, and there are historical references to Toro wine in the literature of Góngora, Quevedo and the Archpriest of Hita. The vines are bush trained, and between 40 and 60 years old. They all were never affected by phylloxera and are ungrafted. - Christian Troy
