Subtle floral and lemon citrus aromas, with crisp apple and hints of white spice on the palate. This is an appealing white - well-balanced with zesty acidity and a lovely fresh finish.

Meet the producer
The 67 hectare Finca Fuenteseca estate lies in Utiel Requena, a high, rugged plateau, nearly 1,000 metres above sea level just inland from Valencia. The combination of hot, dry summers, cold nights and poor, limestone soil make the area relatively free of vine diseases and so ideal for organic farming. The entire estate is now dedicated to organic production and producing blends combining indigenous and international varieties.
