Enblanco, Bodegas Altolandon, Manchuela, Spain

Tasting Note A very pale orange-pink in the glass. An elegant nose of stone fruit, minerals and anise, with apricot, mirabelle plum and citrus. Full and well rounded on the palate, with weight and texture yet a light body - lively and very easy to drink. Grapes 50% Garnacha Blanca 50% Garnacha Gris How to Drink A brilliant aperitif, or serve with tapas, baked fish and sushi. Producer Information Bodegas Altolandon is owned and run by winemaker Rosalía Molina, and sits at around 1,100 metres - one of the highest-altitude wineries in Spain. Her aim is to capture the true character of DO Manchuela: its vineyards, its altitude and its local grape varieties. The big swing between warm days and cold nights gives even ripening and naturally fresh acidity. The vineyards are certified organic and fed only with natural fertilisers. Chickens, sheep and pigs from local farms roam freely between the vines to encourage biodiversity. In the winery, Rosalía works with native yeasts and minimal intervention, ageing her wines in clay amphorae and, for some, French oak. Production Information Made from 15-year-old vines grown on limestone and stony soils. The grapes are hand-picked into small 12kg cases so they reach the winery uncrushed. Fermentation happens spontaneously with wild yeasts, on the skins, in a 1,000-litre clay amphora. Nothing is added - no sulphites - and the wine stabilises naturally over winter, when temperatures can fall to -15°C. Organic, biodynamic and vegan.
