Tasting note
The 2023 Majuelo El Espejo is the fourth vintage of this single-vineyard Verdejo from a north-facing plot of four hectares planted in 2001 with more clay, gray marl and limestone mother rock and less boulders on the surface. The bunches were pressed, and the juice fermented with indigenous yeasts in used French oak barrels with no temperature control, for some 25 days. The wine matured in 500-liter French oak barrels and 700-liter Austrian foudres for 24 months, double than before, plus seven months in stainless steel. There was some new and newish oak, plus the warmer and riper year give the wine a slight creaminess. It finished at 14.3% alcohol, with a pH of 3.23 and 6.1 grams of acidity. It opens up nicely in the glass, becoming more streamlined with time and air, and the palate is better than the nose, with the chalky sensation and the saltiness in the finish. It has more volume, but it's balanced and harmonious, a little more powerful this year. It's a very good effort for the conditions of the year. 9,754 bottles and 120 magnums produced. It was bottled in October 2025.
