It features a well-defined aromatic profile and a fresh, straightforward taste, supported by good acidity and harmonious structure. The winemaking process aims to preserve varietal aromas, while aging on the lees adds softness and nuance without losing vibrancy and brightness.

Where does it come from

This wine comes from Campo de Calatrava, a Spanish area of clear volcanic origin, recognizable in its landscape and soils. The vineyards are located on soils with clayey and stony components, which contribute to a pure expression and a sensation of freshness. In this setting, sustainable and environmentally respectful viticulture is part of the production identity, and the character of the territory remains central to its style in the glass.

How it is produced

The Sauvignon Blanc and Verdejo grapes grow on volcanic soils and are vinified with a focus on preserving the varietal aromas. The approach aims for clarity and precision of the profile, maintaining a fresh note. After fermentation, the wine is aged on the lees, a practice that enhances texture and makes the sip softer, adding complexity without losing brightness.

Tasting notes

In the glass it appears yellow with lemon green highlights. The nose detects tropical notes of ripe pineapple and green apple, followed by citrus and floral hints. On the palate, the entry is creamy, then good acidity supports the progression and accompanies a harmonious structure. The finish remains clean and lively, with balance between softness and tension.

Pairings

It pairs naturally with dishes that highlight freshness and aromas, from salads to pasta, and white meats. It goes well with creamy cheeses, where acidity balances the softness, and with grilled or steamed seafood dishes, where the texture of the sip integrates with the savory notes. It is also suitable with seafood and vegetable tapas, maintaining precision and taste clarity.

When to serve it

It is suitable when you want an organic white with a fresh and harmonious style, able to accompany a meal without weighing it down. Its aromatic component and brightness make it ideal for both table appetizers and for lunches and dinners with vegetables, seafood dishes, and light preparations. The creamy sensation and good acidity help maintain balance and smoothness to the finish, in convivial settings where clarity and precision are sought.
