Trampoline
Straw yellow with greenish glints, clean and bright. Intense varietal aromas remind us of white flowers and white fruit (pear and green apple), appreciating the vegetable nuances of fennel, herbs and brushwood.

In the glass.
A variable year with a wet spring and irregular flowering that lowered yields. Summer was warm but not extreme, allowing gradual ripening. Harvest extended into late September, giving wines that are aromatic and expressive, with good acidity and balance, though slightly rounder and fuller than 2021.

Viñas Murillo
In recent decades, Verdejo has suffered from a poor reputation due to mass production. Still, the Murillo family is now reclaiming its legacy with exceptional pre-phylloxera plantings that capture the true, historic taste of Verdejo.
