Pradorey La Trucha Arcoiris

Pradorey La Trucha Arcoiris is a single-parcel white wine, 100% Viognier, grown on the Real Sitio de Ventosilla estate at Gumiel de Mercado in Burgos. It is the debut release of Pradorey's "Animales Salvajes" (Wild Animals) range, drawn from an experimental planting of white varieties on an estate far better known for its reds, and just 6,808 bottles were made of the 2024.

The grapes were pressed whole and fermented in concrete at a controlled 14-16°C, then aged seven months in new French (75%) and American (25%) oak. The 2024 growing season brought frost, heavy rain and rain near harvest, which lowered yields and concentration; the result is a less full-bodied wine than other years, with greater freshness, a fine elegance and a more delicate, balanced profile.

Straw yellow and bright in the glass, it is complex and fresh on the nose with clear tropical fruit and citrus, grapefruit to the fore, and carries good acidity and a silky texture with real volume and structure. Subtle reminders of its time in barrel lend complexity, finishing on a well-integrated touch of bitterness.

Serve at 10-12°C; no decanting needed. Vegan-friendly.
