🍇 Tasting Notes

Pours pale straw with subtle green glints. On the nose, aromatic and fresh with lemon zest, green apple, pear and subtle floral notes. On the palate it is dry, lively and clean: bright citrus acidity, crisp orchard fruit and a whisper of minerality carry through to a refreshing finish.

Pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, shellfish, white fish, salads, mild cheeses and light Mediterranean dishes. Serve chilled at around 8–10 °C for best enjoyment.

🏡 Winemaking & Story

This wine is crafted predominantly from the indigenous Viura grape (also known as Macabeo), blended with small proportions of Sauvignon Blanc and Verdejo in many vintages. Grapes are harvested and fermented at low temperatures to preserve freshness and aromatic intensity.
