Platinum Medal | 97 Points
Montepedroso Enoteca Verdejo 2023 (Rueda, Spain) was awarded a Platinum Medal (97 points) at the 2026 Decanter World Wine Awards, making it one of just 196 Platinum wines selected from nearly 17,000 entries worldwide—placing it in the top 1.18% of all wines judged. For Finca Montepedroso, this award is particularly significant because it highlights the ageing potential and premium quality of Verdejo, a grape often associated with fresh, early-drinking wines. The Enoteca bottling is a more complex, cellar-worthy expression that demonstrates the variety's ability to produce world-class white wines.
