Grape Varieties

Winemaker Comments

Dry white wine made with sauvignon blanc grapes; this variety is world-renowned for its good organoleptic properties. Cultivated in Teba, north Málaga mountain ranges at an altitude of 510 metres with land which provides this wine with the characteristic traits associated with this area’s terroir. Geographic information: Teba, north Málaga mountain ranges at an altitude of 510 metres. Despite being just 90 km away from the Costa del Sol, the climate is generally continental. The winters are cold, which benefits vine dormancy, and the summers are hot with late sun hours and cool nights, which benefits fruit ripening resulting in high quality, healthy grapes. The land is of the sandy loam soil type with gravelly texture. Harvest: Collected by hand at the grape’s moment of optimal maturity and placed in individual crates of 10 – 12 kg. Vinification: Fermentation with selected yeasts and controlled at a low temperature in stainless steel tanks. Slow fermentation in order to achieve the maximum degree of aroma concentration. Description: Appearance: Clean and brilliant with pale yellow colouring and green rim reflecting the youth and freshness of this excellent young white. Aroma: Good aromatic intensity blending tropical fruit (pineapple and banana) with slightly herbaceous and floral hints. A complexity worthy of an excellent sauvignon blanc monovarietal wine. Flavour: Good volume and well balanced in mouth. Immediately softly acidic with hints of salt provided by the area’s characteristic terroir. Fruity and herbaceous aftertaste which is soft yet persistent. Gastronomic pairing: This wine is easy to drink and pairs well with appetisers and starters as well as seafood, rice and pasta dishes. However, new combinations may be discovered. Serve chilled between 8º y 10ºC.
