Fresh and vivacious, the first impression here is a rush of lemon, lime and bay notes. Quinta Apolonia is a young vine cuvee given a little lees-stirring and a short stay in older oak barrels, which brings focus to the sheer natural energy of Verdejo. The crisp attack is followed by a certain creamy weight on the mid-palate, then a renewed jolt of energy on the finish. Works as well as a standalone aperitif as it does beside a selection of classic white wine food matches. Try it against roast chicken. (NT 16/10/24)

Luis Gutierrez
The young 2023 Quinta Apolonia is varietal and fruit-driven, with aromas of white flowers and pollen, white fruit, elegant and nuanced. It`s clean, transparent and fresh, with moderate ripeness and 13.5% alcohol, with a dry, chalky mouthfeel. It`s their youngest white, a blend of Verdejo from 23 different plots on their estate property. 92 points
