Wines VG and Vinomarketing present Pedroheras wine tasting video.
Wine Tasting Video Pedroheras Wine transcription:
Hello and welcome to Wines from Castilla La Mancha
Today we are in a winery, with more than 50 years of history, from Las Pedroñeras, in the province of Cuenca (Spain)
Bodegas Pedroheras
We have with us today, Francisco Saez, export manager
who is going to tell us about the winery and its wines
well, tell us who you are. What kind of product do you produce?
This winery, which is part of a 52 year old coop,
with 800 members
has a goal to make wines of greater structure and quality that has been produced before
coming from a separate budget from that of the coop
At this moment, we are making bulk wine,
and (over here) prize winnning wines.
Ok. we are going to see the wines you have chosen and taste them in front of our audience.
We have selected 3 wines. the first is Airen, very common grape variety in Castilla La Mancha
the 2nd is Verdejo, which is not very common in Castilla La Mancha. But with the OCM and re-planting
has adopted very well to the region with outstanding results.
which is our flagship wine
It is the king of red Spanish grapes, abundantly grown in CLM (and goes by the name Cencibel).
You were telling me that
both the airen and tempranillo are D.O La Mancha
but the Verdejo is under Vinos de la Tierra de Castilla,
since you elaborate under the denomination of origin as well as under Vino de la tierra de Castilla.
ok, let’s start with the Airen:
(holding it up), it is very clear & bright
pale straw in color which is characteristic of Airen
clean, no defects
(on the nose) with aromas of apples, hints of bananas & pineapples.
tropical notes,
hints of bananas and pineapples.
in the mouth
(now swallowing it)…………..
Sorry
it is very good on the palate
it supports what is found on the nose. good finish..good Airén
bronze prize winner of Cuenca
Now, we will taste the Verdejo.
not typically found in Castilla la Mancha (not an authorized grape variety)
therefore, labeled under VdlT. Some wineries are beginning to cultivate it in our region.
We have visited today another winery that is also elaborating verdejo
Verdejo is more commonly grown in Rueda DO
green and herbaceous notes
golden yellow
on the nose,hints of mint and anise
and anise, supported by citrus notes.
tropical and banana
very good on the nose.
in the mouth, it reminds me of a good Cava.
there is high demand for this grape variety in Northern Europe
and the US
it is more marketable than Airen in the export markets
Aside it is the subject of the variety, perhaps it is more well-known in the markets than the variety airen or at least has more prestige.
You know Talking about wine sometimes is just a matter of being fashionable or not, it is not the wine that you like.
Verdejo is fashionable as well as albariño
and airén is not that fashionable at the moment.
We are going to taste your tempranillo.
You already have told me that it is very good tempranillo.
Here is your glass
young tempranillo, no oak. 2008 vintage
… red ruby color…
13%… Cencibel…
as you may know in Castilla La Mancha, tempranillo also and goes by the name Cencibel
Very clean and shiny
and on the nose
raspberry… also strawberry…
Very smooth
this is a wine that is creamy and is very appreciated.
I believe that tempranillo variety is going to be the future in the United States
It is a easy to drink wine.
you don´t need food to enjoy it
it can be enjoyed going out or chatting with friends,
it is a wine suitable for any occasion
A wine that tastes these two raspberry and strawberry fruit flavours.
In the mouth it is a wine that is creamy
It gives me the impression me that I am eating a strawberry candy
… and a good finish, good tempranillo of Castilla La Mancha
good tempranillo from La Mancha
Prize winner for the second year in a row
Ok, So, with this wine
and with the white ones, you will try to go with these wines to the export makets
this wine can fit in the United states
and also in The United Kingdom
where consumers like this fruity easy to drink style.
Yes it represents exactly what these markets are demanding.
Ok, thank you very much for showing us your wines
