100% Tinto Fino Round and generous, this Garnacha Blanca fills the mouth with luscious, smooth pear, roasted pineapple, quince and yellow apple. Apple blossom, rose petals and jasmine hover elegantly, while a creamy flow of lemon curd adds both zestiness and unctuosity.

Introducing the fifth edition of Belgrade’s Wine Vision fair, 10-12 October 2026
And what to serve with your Rueda Verdejo? ‘Fried chicken – the perfect US combination!’
But the most important ingredient, Jiménez added, was family.
‘Castilla y Léon is such a family-based wine region, unlike many these days,’ he said. ‘So many wineries are still family owned, and have the new generation winemakers taking over from the old. The traditions of family, that connection with the past, still exist even today.’
After a day of discovery at the Decanter Fine Wine Encounter New York City, visitors will undoubtedly be seeking Castilla y Léon wines to enjoy at their next family-style dinner. Cheers!
In 2026, the fifth edition of the fair will be held under the slogan ‘One Place. The World’ – a reflection of the fair’s key role as a meeting point for different cultures, markets, ideas and business initiatives.
Including bespoke masterclasses, panel discussions, B2B sessions and live demonstrations – in addition to three key competitions: the Open Balkan Wine Trophy, Open Balkan Rakija Trophy and the Young Chef Culinary Challenge – the 2026 edition has lots on offer!
