Description
Spain: Interior Iberia
Fruity & Bright White
Dry - Light-Medium Body - Unoaked
Skin Contact - Biodynamic - Vegan - ABV 11.5% - 75.0cl
In a Nutshell:
From sun-baked La Mancha, this hazy skin-contact white packs ripe peach, spice, and a laid-back, textured finish.
The Lowdown:
From the hot, open landscapes of La Mancha, this biodynamic skin-contact Verdejo, has all the trademark citrus zing and gentle herbal lift you'd expect.And in addition being fermented on the skins, it picks up an attractive copper tint, a savoury edge, and a bit of grip that gives it real food-friendly shape. Ripe peach, apricot and baked apple are cut through with flashes of dried orange peel, and a light haze from minimal filtration hints at its unfussy, hands-off approach. An orange wine with no shortage of character.
The Producer:
Bodegas Parra Ximenez was founded in 1993 by the three Parra brothers, early champions of organic viticulture in Cuenca, La Mancha - a region that, it has to be said, is made for that sort of thing. In 2008 they took things further, moving to full biodynamic farming and cutting out pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilisers altogether. Alongside the vines, the family grows arable crops and garlic, and keeps sheep, whose milk is used for the region's famous Manchego cheese. It's all part of a self-sufficient ecosystem where grain feeds the animals and the animals fertilise the land. Today, Pablo Parra, son of one of the founders, carries the baton, pushing sustainability even further.
When to Drink:
Great with the likes of harissa-roasted carrots, garlicky prawns, or pumpkin risotto, the zip and savoury bite keep each mouthful lively.
