New image for "Lazarillo" by Yuntero
Con la salida al mercado de los vinos jóvenes, Bodegas Yuntero ha querido renovar la imagen de su marca “Lazarillo”, una de las más antiguas de la bodega. Fue registrada como marca en 1968 y obtuvo definitivamente la aprobación de su denominación en 1971. Un año más tarde, y exclusivamente para los socios de la Cooperativa, salieron los primeros vinos embotellados bajo la marca “Lazarillo”. El nombre hace referencia a la novela de autor desconocido, Lazarillo de Tormes, considerada precursora de la novela picaresca española y cuyas primeras ediciones datan de 1554.
Al igual que el protagonista de la novela, el “Lazarillo” de Bodegas Yuntero, se caracteriza, tanto en su versión de vino blanco como de tinto, por su frescura, juventud y picardía. Ambos son vinos jóvenes, elaborados con la uva del año, de la variedad verdejo el Lazarillo blanco y tempranillo, el tinto.
The new “Lazarillo” label, which the 2015 vintage wine already sports, highlights the figure of a small infant - dressed in a colorful cape and wide-brimmed hat - who acts as a guide to a blind man. With this image, Yuntero wanted to make more reference to the novel and its protagonist: Lázaro, a lover of good wine, who, after a journey of “fortunes and adversities”, ends up landing in La Mancha.
World Bulk Wine Exhibition
Parallel to the presentations of young wines in Madrid and Manzanares, Bodegas Yuntero is in Amsterdam, participating in the seventh edition of the largest bulk wine fair in the world in terms of business volume, the World Bulk Wine Exhibition (November 23-24).
Much of the production of the Cooperative is destined to make wine to the taste of the consumer in each market. With 100 million kilos of grapes received during the 2015 harvest, Bodegas Yuntero has the capacity to offer a wide range of wines made with different varieties of grapes –conventional and organic– and satisfy the tastes of each country or client.
The quality of these Bodegas Yuntero wines are endorsed by important supply contracts with large national and international companies, such as Iberia or British Airways airlines, for which Bodegas Yuntero has supplied the white wine that is served on all its flights, since January. 2015.
