Menade Verdejo is the winery's flagship organic wine. A fresh, mineral Verdejo made from 100% estate-grown grapes sourced from various plots on clay-limestone and pebble soils located in the Rueda region.

The wine is fermented with natural yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at 18-22ºC. Each plot is vinified separately according to their distinct soil structures and compositions. Afterwards, it is aged on its lees for a controlled period.

Tasting notes:

Pale golden yellow in colour, it opens up, revealing aromas characteristic of the Verdejo varietal. Displays notes of green apple, hints of honey and herbal notes, along with subtle hints of yeast and bakery notes. On the palate, it enters smooth with balanced acidity; notes of stone fruit and grape must stand out.

Bodegas Menade is the project of the Sanz siblings – Alejandra, Marco and Richard – the sixth generation of an iconic family and pioneers of the Rueda Designation of Origin. The winery was founded in 2005, and Richard Sanz, the owner, is currently in charge of winemaking. They produce a wide range of organic white wines with Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc from their own certified organic vineyards. 

The winery is recognised for its commitment to organic viticulture and for introducing a natural-focused philosophy to the region. All of its vineyards are farmed organically and hold European organic certification, ensuring a balanced relationship within their surroundings. Its aim is to promote biodiversity and ecosystem health in order to naturally help prevent fungal diseases in flora and fauna.
