Melea Organic Verdejo Sauvignon Blanc 2022

This wine is pale lemon-yellow with hints of green, it has intense aromas of pineapple, green grass, white flowers and a flinty touch. It is dry and refreshing on the palate with a long citrusy finish and concentrated flavours.

The fruit comes from organically certified, traditionally managed, dry-farmed vines in the Cuenca area of La Mancha. The extreme continental climate means there is a high diurnal temperature range conserving acidity and increasing aromatic intensity. The lack of rainfall reduces the risk of fungal diseases without the need for chemical treatments.

The vineyards were planted in 1999 and are at an altitude of 660m with reddish-brown, sandy-clay soils, low in organic matter and high in chalk and limestone, suppressing yields to just 3kg per plant, giving greater quality grapes.

Controlled fermentation at 15 degrees with clean must, fermented with indigenous yeasts

Not aged

Ideal for pairing with seafood, rice based dishes such as Paella, or Risotto, or to accompany an aperitif.
