Where it comes from

This wine comes from Campo de Calatrava, a Spanish area of clear volcanic origin, recognizable in the landscape and the soils. The vineyards are set on clay and stony soils, which contribute to a clear expression and a fresh sensation. In this context, sustainable and environmentally friendly viticulture is part of the production identity, and the territorial character remains central to the glass’s style.

How it is made

The Sauvignon Blanc and Verdejo grapes grow on volcanic soils and are vinified with attention to preserving the varietal aromas. The approach aims for cleanliness and precision of profile, maintaining a fresh character. After fermentation, the wine ages on the lees, a practice that enriches the texture and creates a softer sip, adding complexity without losing brilliance.

The palate opens creamy, with good acidity supporting the progression and accompanying a harmonious structure. The finish is clean and lively, with a balance between smoothness and tension.

Food pairings

It naturally pairs with dishes that enhance freshness and aromas, from salads to pasta dishes, up to white meats. It goes well with creamy cheeses, where the acidity balances the softness, and with grilled or steamed seafood dishes, where the wine’s texture integrates well with the saltiness. It is also suitable with seafood and vegetable-based tapas, maintaining precision and clarity on the palate.

When to serve it

It is suitable when a white wine with a fresh and harmonious style is desired, able to accompany a meal without weighing it down. The aromatic quality and brilliance make it suitable for both table aperitifs and for lunches and dinners with vegetables, seafood, and light preparations. Its creamy sensation and good acidity help maintain balance and smoothness through to the finish, in convivial settings where clarity and definition are appreciated.
