Characteristics
Máquina & Tabla Blanco is a white wine, D.O. Rueda, produced by the winery Máquina & Tabla.
Máquina & Tabla is a project that began in 2012 thanks to Oriol Illa and Susana Pastor. Starting from scratch, they visited the entire region, searching for the best vineyards, the oldest ones.
Máquina & Tabla cultivates the vines using biodynamic parameters, with utmost respect for the land and nature. They make top-quality wines with minimum intervention, in rented facilities, as of right now.
It seems like hard work is paying off: Máquina & Tabla normally appears in the best positions of specialised magazine rankings.
Máquina & Tabla Blanco is a wine made from Verdejo form a vineyard located in Hornillos de Eresma, planted with century-old vines, pre-phylloxera, and with white sand soils on a clay subsurface. Yields are very low.
The harvest is performed by hand. Once the grapes arrive at the winery, they macerate in cold for 36 hours. After this, the grapes are pressed and they start fermenting with native yeasts in 600-litre French oak barrels. Here, they are left for 11 months.
Máquina & Tabla Blanco is a creamy, deep, fresh wine. Very clean on the nose, with notes of flowers and white fruit. In the mouth it is unctuous but easy to drink, with a mineral background that makes it very long lasting. A genuine Verdejo.

The 2017 vintage has been rated excellent by the regulatory council. A year marked by drought and high temperatures that brought the harvest date forward. Autumn began with temperatures somewhat higher than normal but with a normal rainfall. It was not until late November when temperatures dropped. The beginning of the year arrived with low temperatures and scarce rainfall. Suddenly, temperatures began to rise and accelerated the growth and phenolic development of the vines. At the end of April, there was an intense frost, a severe climatic accident that reduced the harvest by 20%. Once again, May registered very high temperatures that sped up the flowering and consequently brought the harvest date forward, becoming the earliest to date. A vintage where all the aromatic components of the grape have been extracted and the acidity has been preserved, essential to give freshness to the wine.The 2015 vintage was rated as very good in a year where no climatic accident occurred. Autumn and winter were somewhat warmer than normal but with normal rainfall. In spring, the growth cycle started a few days in advance, but temperatures and rains continued normally until the beginning of summer. Days before the harvest, temperatures became milder and the end of ripening was very good. The wines of this vintage are characterised by a good balance between maturity and acidity. A good aromatic profile that will age correctly.Ratings for the vintages
