Description
Explore a 17th-century winery and taste two unique, historic, limited-production golden wines: De Alberto Dorado and Dorado Dulce, authentic treasures of the Rueda D.O.
Discover the living history of golden wine at Bodegas De Alberto, in the heart of the Rueda D.O. You will begin the experience by descending into our 17th-century underground cellar, a place full of mystery and tradition that has preserved centuries of artisanal winemaking.
Next, you will visit the "beach of demijohns," a sun-drenched courtyard where the wines rest in glass demijohns as part of their oxidative aging, an ancient technique that defines the character of golden wine. You will also visit the soleras room, where the wines age in oak barrels using a traditional system that connects different vintages and generations of winemaking knowledge.
The experience ends with a guided tasting of two historic and exclusive wines: De Alberto Dorado, dry, deep and with an oxidative soul.
De Alberto Dorado Dulce, smoother, more enveloping and complex. Both are unique wines with limited production that are difficult to find outside the winery. A sensory, cultural and unique experience, ideal for wine lovers and those who want to discover one of Rueda's best-kept secrets.
