Description
Refreshing, mineral and saline in the mouth with layers of sharp meyer lemon, grapefruit and a herbal, fennel-like note. A distinctive, delicious white.
Albilla is a little-grown variety distinct from other Albillos grown in Spain or the Canary Islands. The vineyards are close to the village of Villamalea in Cuenca, with calcareous clay soils. Vines are between 40-60 years old and are 800 metres above sea level.
Grapes are hand-harvested and pressed in a vertical press, alcoholic fermentation takes place with wild yeasts. All the wines are fermented and aged for approximately seven months in neutral oak on lees to let each parcel reflect its own personality. Wines are neither fined nor filtered before bottling.
