Casa Agricola Blanco

This is a small production artisanal wine made with Moscatel de Alejandria, Macabeo, and Airén.

This white wine represents the two big terroirs from Alicante. The Moscatel of Alejandria is bathed by sea breezes and the Macabeo and Airén by the fresh winds in the Vinalopó highlands. Traditional goblet on drylands and Macabeo on low trellises with small water inputs. 

The winemaker’s objective is to maximize the Mediterranean potential. The wine definitely reflects the sea, the mountains, and the character and all the magic of the Mediterranean.

Wine Production

The vinification is carried out in tanks of 5000 L. The fermentation is under controlled low temperature at 15ºC without additional yeast or chemical products. Grapes are fermented with their own indigenous yeast and then the wine is in contact with its lees until bottling. The sulfurous addition is very minimal.

Tasting Notes

The Moscatel brings fragrances of jasmine, citrus, rose petals, and orange blossom. The Macabeo notes of fennel, chamomile, and rock tea. And finally, the Airén gives the calcareous and saline notes.
