Tasting notes
The 2024 Quinta Apolonia shows signs of extreme youth. I think it's a mistake to release the wines this young, as they need a little bit of time in bottle to settle. It has a slightly reductive and medicinal nose, with thiolic notes and a core of white flowers, pollen and white fruit. This is a blend of Verdejo from different plots and some 5% other varieties. It's agile, elegant, nuanced and fresh, with some ripe flavors, 13.5% alcohol, a dry mouthfeel and a faint bitter twist in the finish. It fermented partly in used large barrels and the rest in stainless steel. 78,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2025.
