The 2022 Quinta Apolonia is going to be released already as the market is moving fast, fermentations have been quick and easy and the wine was bottled a couple of weeks before I tasted it. It was a year marked by very warm temperatures in the summer and lack of rain. They started the harvest very early, in late August, and harvested for one month; it was a complex harvest, as some vineyards had to be harvested over up to five different points of time. They had to sort and discard, and yields were low and production lower than other years. The wines are a little riper and more advanced. This has a golden color and an open, expressive nose of peach and bay leaf with some rose petals too, a little exotic with notes reminiscent of Moscatel or even Gewurztraminer. It has a gentle mouthfeel with lower acidity too. There are 77,000 bottles and 2,320 magnums of this wine. It was bottled in November 2022.
Winery
• 100% Verdejo. • 1/3 of the blend is declassified, barrel-fermented juice from the top wine. • The remaining 2/3 is fruit from young vines fermented in tank.

Region: Castilla Y Leon

In the heart of Spain, we find the beautiful - if somewhat arid and occasionally desolate - wine region of Castilla y Leon. Castilla y Leon is the largest wine region in Spain, covering a huge plateau rising up from its surroundings, and characterized by its dry and cracked soils, and intense summer heat. Such weather conditions can often make viticulture difficult, but the wineries which work in the region have generations of experience and expertise when it comes to making the most of the beautiful red and white wine grape varietals which grow well there. From Tempranillo to Verdejo, Castilla y Leon really has something to suit every palate, and offers the world a range of wines full of the passion and flavors of Spain.

Country: Spain

Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.
