Javier Sanz Viticultor, Viticultor Singular V Malcorta Verdejo 2024 White

Javier Sanz Viticultor’s Viticultor Singular V Malcorta Verdejo 2024 is a rare and characterful white wine from Rueda, made from the nearly forgotten Verdejo Malcorta clone. It stands out for its vivid aromatic profile, regional authenticity, and the producer’s commitment to preserving old vineyards and native varieties that define the identity of the area.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass, it shows a bright and expressive nose with floral notes lifted by citrus, ripe apricot, and a fine mineral edge. On the palate it is fresh, lively, and intense, combining Verdejo’s natural tension with a subtle textural depth and a clean, persistent finish. Its balance and precision suggest good short- to medium-term aging potential, during which the wine may gain further complexity and nuance. The Malcorta character brings an especially aromatic and distinctive expression, making this an engaging white for those who enjoy wines with both freshness and personality.

Production
The wine comes from Javier Sanz’s mosaic of parcels in La Seca, Valladolid, within the heart of Rueda, where gravelly and flinty soils, a continental climate, and strong day-night temperature shifts help preserve acidity and aromatic definition. The estate focuses on sustainability, old vines, and the recovery of nearly extinct local grapes, with the Malcorta clone carefully cultivated as part of that philosophy. Vinification details are not provided, but the style suggests a careful, terroir-driven approach designed to highlight purity and varietal expression.

Food & Serving
This wine works beautifully with seafood, grilled fish, shellfish, sushi, light poultry dishes, and fresh goat’s cheese. Serve chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, to preserve its aromatic lift and crisp structure. Decanting is not necessary, though a few minutes in the glass will allow the floral and mineral notes to open fully.

Producer
Javier Sanz Viticultor is a family estate with more than 150 years of winemaking history, now carried forward by the fourth generation.
