61 Dorado en Rama is a fortified white wine produced by Bodega Cuatro Rayas in la Seca - Valladolid - DO Rueda.

It is a unique wine, a non-vintage wine, from the only "saca": June 2023, with a production of just 1100 bottles. This is a wine that embodies the essence of authentic soleras from the middle of the 20th century.

Production:  

Made from the Palomino grape of the Rueda DO, a variety that has practically disappeared due to the ban from being planted in the region.

The Palomino comes from just one-hectare plot dating back a century, from the very few remaining vines that are pamperingly cared for the Lasecana Cooperative, and it is vinified with centenary Verdejo to obtain a selection from 13 barrels with "velo de flor".

It is made using the traditional method. Aged in butts that are filled to five-sixths of their capacity to encourage the formation of the veil of indigenous yeasts. Bottled without fining or filtering.

Tasting Notes: 

Clean golden colour. It displays oxidative notes with a nutty character on the nose reminiscent of an amontillado, bakery notes, and a refreshing acidity. Full-bodied, and complex on the palate, with rich nutty flavours, light bitterness, and saline touches. Persistent with a warm finish.
