Description

If Verdejo is not on your white grape radar then this should be your introduction. It's a very friendly white wine that is dominated by stone fruit aromas and flavours. As well as this vibrant fruit there is the faintest almond note in the background (a classic Verdejo trait) that sits so well with the peachy flavour. It's un-oaked and has a fresh acidity thanks to the high altitude at which the vines are grown.

From the producer: Our property in Spain, in the wine region of La Mancha, is entirely organically farmed thanks to its geographical location and natural climatic conditions. Indeed, the property of 200 ha in one piece around the cellar makes the monitoring easier and it easier to react in the vineyard. It is located at an altitude of 750m which gives to our plants a natural protection against diseases and a reduction of insect populations.

As a result, we do not need to do a lot of treatments to protect the vine.

Also, Castillo de Aresan is the only property with 100% of its products in organic farming in the region.

 

In the spirit of our approach in Organic Farming, we wanted to take a step further at Castillo de Aresan for the natural environment and work in a vegan approach with 100% vegetable wines.
