The 2018 Verdejo, La Tortuga Veloz by IZADI, showcases the excellent qualities of the 2019 harvest. This vintage successfully highlights the distinct aromatic profiles typical of Verdejo, featuring notes of almonds and medlar, all enveloped in a delicate backdrop of tropical fruit. It strikes a balance between being serious yet enjoyable, or perhaps charming while still having character. The extended contact with the lees—lasting 120 days—adds a nicely balanced texture that also enhances freshness. The finish reveals a graceful varietal bitterness that contributes to the wine's overall complexity.
