Wine Enthusiast 92pt

Smoke and a hint of jalapeno on the nose are met with a juicy and creamy fruitiness on the palate. The ocean is very much in the background, too, creating an overall intriguing effect.

James Suckling 90pt

Fresh herbs, sliced green apples and some limes on the nose. Refreshing, simple and gastronomic, with a medium body, bright acidity and a pithy, medium-length finish. 80% verdejo and 20% godello.

Estate

In order to understand this winery, as well as the great family tradition in viticulture, one must remember Don Luis Varela Alvarez de Toledo, who maintained a close relationship with the vineyards and the wine. Thanks to him, Alvarez de Toledo is able to present their wines, sourced from the most intimate interpretation of the Bierzo region. His mother, Sara Alvarez de Toledo, was born in Villafranca del Bierzo and her sister Amancia was a nun in the closed order convent of The Anunciada. They represented the last generations linked to the vineyards. His daughter, Angelines Varela Mazon y Alvarez de Toledo, is responsible for the project of recuperating the family vineyards, several of which are over 100 years old.
