What the critics say...
Robert Parker: 90 points(01/06/2011)
The 2009 Belondrade was 100% barrel-fermented as its light gold color and toasty aromas suggest. On the palate the oak is nicely integrated with the wine’s minerality and spicy peach and apricot flavors. This intense, concentrated wine should be consumed over the next 2-3 years in order to capture its fruit.
The Belondrade winery, S.L. was established in 1994, with the purpose to take Burgundian technologies to the Verdejo grape. Managed by Didier Belondrade, a Frenchman in love with Spain, interested in the autochthonous Verdejo grape and its aptitude to age, elaborates in 1994 his first... BELONDRADE AND LURTON´s crop with a production of 10.000 bottles. Thirteen years later the average production of the crop is 80.000 bottles. Since 2000 the winery built by the French architect Vicent Dufos du Rau, is placed in the municipal area of La Seca, dominating a vast Castilian landscape that highlights the modern and integrated architecture of the winery. Located in the estate Quinta San Diego, which takes the name of Didier´s second son.
