The nose is complex and inviting, featuring aromas of pear, white flowers, and a subtle buttery note, interspersed with light smoky hints that reveal the character of its extended aging. On the palate, the wine is soft and round in texture, yet it maintains a beautiful freshness thanks to the significant day-night temperature variations in the wine region. The finish is elegant with a light saline and smoky touch, which emphasizes its complexity and ensures a long, refined aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDue to its combination of fruity elegance, creamy texture, and fresh acidity, this wine pairs excellently with refined dishes. Consider grilled seafood such as calamari or sea bass with lemon, as well as richer fish dishes with buttery sauces. Chicken with a creamy mushroom sauce, risotto with fennel, or white fish tartare also pair beautifully with this glass. Because the wine has a light smokiness and saline sensation, it works surprisingly well with Mediterranean flavors and light Asian dishes with citrus or ginger accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/dominio-del-soto\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eDominio del Soto\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e Blanco comes from the Ribera del Duero in Northern Spain, a region primarily known for its powerful red wines, but where exceptional white wines are also produced. The Dominio del Soto estate was founded in 2005 in Sotillo de la Ribera, on high-altitude vineyards (approximately 850–900 m above sea level) with clay and limestone soils that give the grapes beautiful structure and freshness. The wine is produced under the creative direction of the Mathilde Chapoutier Sélection team, who aim to present the local grape in an elegant style and allow the terroir to speak clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis white wine is 100% Albillo Mayor, an indigenous Spanish grape that is relatively rarely used solo and therefore gains a unique expression. The grapes are harvested by hand and gently pressed with the stems, after which the juice is first statically clarified. Subsequently, the wine is fermented partially (70%) in stainless steel tanks and 30% in large oak barrels, which contributes to extra complexity without the oak influence becoming overpowering. No malolactic fermentation takes place, ensuring the fresh acidity is well preserved. The wine then matures for about 12 months on the lees, which provides a rich mouthfeel and beautiful roundness to the flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine scores\/awards 🏆\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTim Atkin - 94 points (2023)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Dominio del Soto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58944363856197,"sku":"27167","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1183\/2133\/files\/998694ff338e224cfb9e982e39a34086aa781b08.jpg?v=1787299833"},{"product_id":"dominio-del-soto-crianza-blanco","title":"Dominio Del Soto Crianza White","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting note Dominio Del Soto Crianza Blanco\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBright, light golden color.

The juice undergoes short cold static clarification and then ferments slowly at a low temperature (±15 °C) with indigenous yeasts. After fermentation, the wine is aged for more than 11 months on the lees in French oak barrels, which provides structure, complexity, and soft roundness, while the organic approach supports its freshness and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine scores\/awards 🏆\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTim Atkin - 94 points (2023)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 points (Tim Atkin)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Dominio del Soto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58944363987269,"sku":"27170","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1183\/2133\/files\/d757b8f71f1b3b30b537e17a2529a6c62a36135b.jpg?v=1787299836"}],"url":"https:\/\/vechtstreekwijnen.nl\/en\/collections\/albillo-mayor.oembed","provider":"Vechtstreek Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
