Description
One of the finest expressions of Verdejo we’ve come across, ‘Momento’ is sourced from three select vineyards with an average age of 45 years. Fermentation is carried out between stainless steel and French oak barrels, the final blend a beautiful balance of fruit, minerality, texture and structure.
The nose is elegant and complex, hinting at apricot, pear and melon with additional notes of fennel, white flowers and honeysuckle. It’s the texture defines this wine though: silky, supple and minerally, it rolls on the tongue releasing soft stone-fruit, floral and herbal flavours with a gentle acidity cleansing the palate.
Try with creamy chicken or pasta dishes, or even soft cheeses and patés.

Producer: Diez Siglos
One of the few wineries we work with that are younger than ourselves, Diez Siglos celebrated their tenth birthday in 2019! The company was established as a cooperative of 65 growers with the common interest of protecting and enhancing the reputation of Rueda's signature grape, and one of Spain's best white varietals, Verdejo. Experienced winemakers were brought in and combine traditional techniques with cutting-edge technology in a state of the art new facility just south of Valladodid.
With 380 hectares of vines to hand at an average 750m above sea-level, the winemakers are spoilt for choice in terms of fruit, allowing for different blending, fermentation and maturation techniques for a range of wines that truly showcase Rueda. It's not just Verdejo too, with Sauvignon Blanc, Viura and Tempranillo also grown, although we suspect there's much more to come from this exciting new venture.
