Family run by Alejandra Sanz and her brothers, this organic estate hand-harvests and uses natural yeasts only to produce the Menade style of pure and expressive wine from the Verdejo grape variety. An appealing nose of citrus and wild flowers, ripe tropical fruit, citrus, grapefruit and wild herbs. ‘A big, smiling mouthful of ripe pear and pineapple fruits, balanced by racy citrus acidity’ John Wilson, Irish Times Top 20 wines.
