Zorro de Menade is the winery's Godello wine. It is a fresh, mineral-driven wine from 100% organic and estate-grown grapes sourced from various plots on clay-limestone and pebble soils located in the Rueda region at 800 metres of altitude. The grapes come from low-yielded vines over 30 years old that have been grafted with Godello buds.

The wine is fermented with natural yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at 18-22ºC. It undergoes a brief ageing period on its lees before being bottled.

Tasting notes:

Straw-yellow in colour, clean. Good aromatic intensity, with notes of fruit (plums, apples and pears) and fresh herbal, mineral and floral notes. On the palate, it has a medium body, and it is lively, with a sparkling freshness.

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.
